The NYTimes magazine ran an article about your nickname wingnut, but I'm not so sure I still get it, I'm thinking it means, you're a nut, that's winging it, but not so sure that's the meaning you attach to it. What's a wingnut?

[rainbowdemon]

Common hardware.

Are you suggesting our Wingy is a commoner, RB?

[rainbowdemon]

Not at all. But that's the strict definition of the word!

A wingnut is like a screwball or an odd duck... it is just a bit outside the norm.

I think of it as being a social outlier. Not ostracized from society, more just outside of its conventions and codes.

I am cooking, BBIAB to go in a bit deeper.

I notice wingnut never came back from his meal to enlighten us further. Perhaps he died of food poisoning. Or more likely he realised there is nothing to be added to this excellent definition at urbandictionary.com

A chronic case of verbal diarrhea. Persistent verbosity.
