Welcome to a whimsical corner of Reddit known as “Username Checks Out” that combines witty snapbacks, memes, and internet culture all at once.
According to Know Your Meme, “'Username Checks Out' is a common catchphrase used online to point out when someone makes a comment that seems to complement their online handle.” People online immediately caught on to the joke, and so the subreddit by the same name was born in 2015.
Seven years later, the community stands strong while dedicated to sharing and documenting hilarious examples of the phrase being used. Below we wrapped up some of the funniest ones for you to enjoy!

Pole here. My father lived to about 14 years there before moving to Chicago. He's passed but he lived for a good Pole joke. Any and all of them...oh pops...rip.

This isn't a real Polish name, this is indeed a bunch of random letters, with a few of them at the end forming into something that resembles a common name.

15 years ago, a schoolmate of mine made the gamertag "Dominicanpimp3" because 2 and 1 were taken (as well as the name without a number after it). Months later, when we were playing Halo 3, we were put in a lobby with Dominicanpimp2.

Know Your Meme explains the “Username Checks Out” catchphrase that has been surfing online for years, as a phrase that points out when someone makes a comment which complements their online handle.
The origins of the phrase dates back to November 19th, 2014, when the Redditor felix2468 posted a question to r/OutOfTheLoop about what the phrase ‘Username checks out’ meant. “While the comment had seen use online prior to the question, the post marked the first time someone inquired about its meaning online,” Know Your Meme explains.

A year later, on October 20th, 2015, “a 9GAG user posted an example showing someone with the username "EnragedQuitter" leaving an online gaming match, gaining over 6,600 points.” Then, on April 17th, 2016, Redditor The-Lying-Tree posted the same question to /r/OutOfTheLoop. According to Know Your Meme, in the thread, users Drogovic and Stuff_muffin provided examples of how the meme would be used. The joke was picked up by Redditors on various subreddits.

In my family my great grandmother had 6 sets of twins, as well as 3 other children. I guess there was no history of multiple births on either side before that. They actually did a story about them in 1938 national geographic as well as we're featured at the world's fair. I always thought it was pretty cool.

Didn't Mean To Offend Any Earthworms, I'm Sorry
David Martin 3 years ago
At my high school, the weird thing would be the guy who was suspended after the weekend janitor caught him in the teachers' lounge. "Steve" (not his real name) had decided to break into the lounge and was raiding for food, found some hot dog buns, and figured "Welp...might as well sit down on the couch in here and pleasure myself with one of those". Aaaaaaaaand cue the janitor
SaneMinotaur (she/her) 3 years ago
That is NOT where I expected that story to go... I thought 'Steve' was from a low income family and desperate for food. Yikes. How did he pleasure himself with a bun?? Surely it would disintegrate? I have so many questions that I don't want the answers to.

Not necessarily weird but a random thing I just remembered that made me laugh. Sophomore year Spanish class, the teacher brought in a bunch of different types of hot peppers. Right before class ended this one kid was dared to eat a habanero pepper, one of the hottest peppers to exist. So kid ate it, ran out of the classroom and no one knew where he went. Apparently he ran into the building across the way, where the school band was practicing, and puked in the sink.

Mine wasn't a big moment since I was the only one who saw it and I kept my mouth shut but I watched a kid eat the biggest booger I have ever seen in my life when I was next to him on the bus. I'm now 26 years old and haven't seen a bigger booger. I cannot stress how big that thing was.

UwU is a text substitute for kawaii emoji depicting pleasure and bliss. "U" is a symbol for eyes closed and "w" is for mouth. Like here: https://www.etsy.com/pl/listing/1152474030/kawaii-uwu-face-patch-cute-anime
