handle
| In computing, term used on Internet Relay Chat and other live chat services for a nickname. |
| A given user's handle may or may not be the same as his/her user-ID; on many systems users are allowed to pick any name they like to use on chat systems as long as it is not already taken by another user. |
| Handles are also used on CB and ham radio, and hackers use handles, for cultural reasons as much as to disguise their real identities. |
