Why do people call SCP-106 larry?

[Prelude]

He's not a cucumber. Like I understand why people would call 173 peanut, as there is some resemblance; same with 939 being named doggo.

Well, people have been calling him Larry before SCP: SL. Infact, it got so popular 106's backstory calls him Lawrence. http://www.scp-wiki.net/the-young-man

There's some backstory about the name "Radical Larry" and how it used to be a meme and stuff, look it up if you're interested.

Suppose this explains it. https://www.reddit.com/r/SCP/comments/6fss1g/where_does_106s_nickname_radical_larry_come_from/

Funny enough, there's a note in CB refering to this.

Please refer to all SCP-level items by their case-designated review numbers. While common reference names are more "convenient", it is both misleading and unprofessional. Case in point, any continued reference to "Radical Larry" in SCP-106 reports will be met with disciplinary review from sector supervisors

The SCP Foundation just call him that. And 939 is kinda a meme.

Read my post.

Also, that was created after people started calling him that.

I thought Markiplier called him radical Larry?

Radical Larry is an urban myth. He is all business all the time. He vibrates through walls and can burrow underground.

Myth? I saw him once... man... he really does mean business.
