EN World Screen Name Phonetic Puzzle

It is the measure of the lady's candle = Whisperfoot?

The "per foot" makes sense, but I'm not too sure about the "whis." Or is that "wisp her foot?"

I dunno - I'm reaching.

Honestly,when you posted those, i DID think of Ranger Wickett (though I'd be darned if I could figure out _any_ of the others) but I said to myself, "gee , that's himself - could he be that vain?" and, besides, I couldn't figure it out beyond seeing "wick" so I didn't say anything.. :D

ah well. (i guessed it, didn't figure it out though ;) )

Actually, that’s not true at all. “Creative mountin’” is a phonetic-equivalent phrase that flows well together, while “range her wick it” is merely a string of words which cannot be used together as part of a sentence, and thus is much more forced. The point of the puzzle was not to break up EN Worlders’ screen names into chunks and give separate descriptions of each chunk (regardless of whether or not they made sense together), but rather to come up with a description of the entire screen name. “Docked her mid knight” and "creative mountin'" follow that pattern, while “range her wick it” does not.

In any case, for those - like Chronosome - that missed out, here’s another wave of these:

18. OPTIONALLY, SWEAR

19. ARTIFICIAL HUMAN IN SHADOWS

20. DEEP-VOICED 6TH NOTE

21. DID A GOOD JOB MISSING THE TARGET

22. KNOCK ALICE’S MUG WITH YOUR HEAD

23. RAPID SMILE

24. SHE WAS EATEN BY GENERAL NORMAN SCHWARZKOPF

25. SPRINTED A LITTLE

26. TEASE AN ELDER GOD

27. TWO PEOPLE, BOTHERED

I’m pretty sure most of these are reasonably frequent posters; those on the lower end of the scale at least have common screen names (real words or names, that is).
