My name’s initials (NW) and a Chinese slang (西北風).
西北風 means north-west wind (translated by character, “west north wind”). Other than its meaning in weather, people would often use “eat north-west wind” (食西北風, Cantonese) or “drink north-west wind” (喝西北風, Mandarin) to mean running out of business.
I have been using this name ever since I learnt that diagonal compass directions in Chinese and English are flipped, like “west north” becomes “north-west” here.
It’s a nice planet that is commonly misunderstood

My dad did this once.
One time I walked outside my room and see some banana peels on the hanger. I look under it and there are 3 naked bananas.
He never did it again.
