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!

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.

He Explained It Wrong
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.

Get off the couch, take a walk - outside (not to the fridge), do deep breathing, smell the flowers, pet a puppy, smile at a stranger, eat al fresco at a cafe- if you're not still bored...-------- you just lost your job.

I'd go with choice B. It is the difference between being the researcher, and the researched.

Your assignment, should you choose to accept it, is to collect all the trash, and run, no- Dash to the dumpster, while fast paced music sets an accelerated pace. If you do not finish the trash dash before the music stops, or you must take whatever trash is left and dash home, where you will fill your bathtub/shower with it. -- This message will self destruct in 5, 4, 3....

I get paid to rustle leaves, cause a stir, move air-slightly, be breezy, keep birds and flying insects aloft, bring the fragrances of flowers in through your windows, and perfume past your face, dry your tears, cool you on a hot day, dry your laundry or just your shirt after a nervous sweat, lift butterflies from flowers, move the sails of your boat (not enough to move the boat), put out the candles on your cake and the candles on your romantic table for two, keep your matches from staying lit long enough for you to use them, snuff out the pilot lights in your furnace, water heater, and stove, move campfire smoke to get in your eyes, waft odors from farm animals or the garbage toward you, whisk important papers out of your hands and keep them just out of reach, carry balloons that little children let go -up- into the atmosphere, dry your eyes out, fling sand or pollen in your face, mess up your hair before a photo shoot, blow 1 or 2 hairs into your eyes, and one to tickle your nose. -- I'll be a pleasure, a blessing, and such a nuisance. Bwahahahahaha!

Lazy, sleepy little elf. You take candy from babies, and pensions from old people. How many ice cream cones did you knock out of someone's hand this week? How many puppies tails did you pull? How many nasturtiums and hollyhocks did you pilfer from Auntie May's garden?

Work outside the box. Master exceptionally difficult tricks with red marbles, and become an internet sensation. Paint walls, floors, counter tops, or furniture as mock red marble. Carve intricate designs in red marbles that sell for $100s. Do indepth research and write a best seller about the big red marble - the planet Mars. Or, write a children's book about a child and a red marble, and all their adventures. Become a fashion designer, and make that your company name. You could quarry red marble and make something beautiful and marvelous with it.

Tuna steaks, beach stew, clam bake, oysters on the 1/2 shell, Lobster bisque, crab cakes, shrimp linguini Alfredo... you could have a beach side catering biz, specializing in all foods oceanic in origin. Maybe even include salmon since it lives part time in the ocean.

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
