Where does the title come from under your name?

Such as mine says " Constraint Violating Yak Guru ".

I have no idea where that came from and I'm unsure if it's accurate?

"Violating Yak"? Who did or what did I violate?

"Guru" I don't think so.

"Constraint"? From what the dictionary meaning should I be worried I'm repressing my feelings and seek professional help?

Main Entry: con·straint
Pronunciation: \k?n-'strant\
Function: noun
Etymology: Middle English, from Middle French constrainte, from constraindre
Date: 15th century
1 a: the act of constraining b: the state of being checked, restricted, or compelled to avoid or perform some action <the constraint and monotony of a monastic life — Matthew Arnold> c: a constraining condition, agency, or force : check <put legal constraints on the board's activities>
2 a: repression of one's own feelings, behavior, or actions b: a sense of being

Word of caution, cardgunner: I've observed that people who request a custom title are not always happy with the one chosen for them. On the other hand a lot of good posts will bring respect to any title.

btw, does anyone else have trouble understanding Brett's posts? I have the same trouble with Zippy the Pinhead comics - I'm sure it's me. (no offense, Brett, you've earned my respect a long time ago )

I got a long way to go before I think I deserve any type of custom title.
