I laughed at hiromoot. Very clever nickname

  I know moot, but what’s the hiro part mean?

    A Japanese man named Nishimura Hiroyuki bought and now owns 4chan. It's a mashup of their names.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hiroyuki_Nishimura https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hiroyuki_Nishimura >Users on 4chan refer to him commonly as 'hiro' but also by the ethnic slur "gook moot", or the nickname "Jackie 4chan", "Hiroshima Nagasaki," or simply "hiroshimoot".

      That's kind of misleading because it lists hiroshimoot alongside blatantly racist nicknames. But hiroshimoot simply appears to be the names of two people mixed together.
