vital signz Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 It's easy for me to see where Alex can be morphed into Lerxst, and Peart to Pratt, but the Dirk I don't get.... Anyone here know the origins of their nicknames for each other? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrxtopher Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 I've always wondered about this too. "Pratt" is sometimes a derogatory slang for an uncool person, kind of a nerd. Lerxst could come from Alex, I guess, but I bet there's more to it than that. And Dirk has to have a story behind it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdaly Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 Neil briefly discusses their nicknames in one of his books (Roadshow maybe? can't remember for sure)... I don't think he went so far as to "explain" them, but I remember something about "Dirk Lee" being a 'fictitious secret agent' or something like that....
