This post is a collection of the answers to the most frequent questions I am asked about my username.
What does dryairship mean?
It literally means dryairship. You could always break it down as dry-airship or dry-air-ship as per your own will, and then iterate over the various meanings of the words dry, air and ship to let it mean whatever pleases you. I, however, like to visualize it as a cute non-moist airship floating in the sky.
The only other allusion that dryairship incorporates, is that it happens to be an anagram of my legal first name Priydarshi.
How did I think of dryairship?
td;dr : I didn’t. I wrote a program to find it.
Just before coming to IITK, I realized I needed a nice username for all my online accounts. Also somewhat around that time, I had finished the entire Harry Potter movie series. I was particularly impressed by the scene in which “Tom Marvolo Riddle” was permutated to “I am Lord Voldemort”. Further, I read about how this scene was performed in other languages and also found a reddit post that has other anagrams for Tom Marvolo Riddle. And then it was decided - I needed a username that was an anagram of my name.
Hence, I wrote a simple Java program to find meaningful anagrams of my name. From the output of this program, I zeroed in on dryairship.
Of all the 907200 permutations, why dryairship?
Because dryairship is better than hairy drips or his dry pair or air dry hips or any other anagram. I did linger over sir hardy pi and sir pi hydra for a few minutes but then decided against using the title sir in my username.
Is dryairship related to Aerospace Engineering?
Not intentionally. Though the fact that I was about to join IITK to study Aerospace Engineering could have been an implicit factor in making me choose dryairship over other alternatives.
What would happen if the airship becomes wet?
I’ve only completed one course of Aerospace Engineering as of writing of this post and find myself incapable of describing what effects the wetness of the surface of the airship would have on the flight. The answer to this question would be updated as soon as I do a course which teaches me that.
More questions, as their frequency increases, would be added here.
