In Spanish my username´s meaning would be near to evident (dough it´s a bit more complicated than the obvious)

Your´s is a classical philosophic / literary expression / reference.

@ElRengo I thought ElRengo was Spanish for Gomez

I like that interpretation of my username

@Ghostinthemachine
No.
Rengo means Lame.

@ElRengo why do you think you are lame?

@Ghostinthemachine
My nick haves at least a pair of origins.

One of them during war, 40 years ago. Received some metal in my left hip und upper leg.
Till was posible to have medical attention, not inmediatly, I did what others found important even if I can not remember them well. So I became a kind of moderate well known one, called by others El Rengo.
Such nickname remains beinf used by my old friends of that time.

A second source is more rooted in the emotional domain.
Lost the woman I loved more than life.
And since then I feel I walk life in one leg.

@ElRengo Thank you for sharing what must both be emotionally scarring stories from your past.
But know that nicknames do not define you, only you can do that
