It's like a NN/alias used by long distance hikers...at least in the US. I think it started on the Appalachian Trail. Usually they're word 'names' which reference something about the hiker's personality or personal history. They're mostly just used to sign trail logs and among other hikers. Some examples...Nimble, Hotshot, Sleepwalker, Argo, Bright Side, Mosey, Awol, Sherpa, Hail Satan, Caribou, Tangy, Rojo, Waffles, Chuckwagon...they're particularly useful when you're meeting a lot of people in a short time period...easier to remember than traditional names.
