About

Username Checks Out is a common catchphrase used online to point out when someone makes a comment that seems to complement their online handle. For example, it might be used if someone with the handle "ilovepasta" makes the comment "spaghetti is amazing." It is most popular on Reddit. It is similar to the phenomenon of Beetlejuicing, where a person appears in a thread with a username pertinent to the topic at hand.

On November 19th, 2014, Redditor felix2468[1] 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.

The popularity of the joke on Reddit led to the creation of a small subreddit, /r/ThatUserNameChecksOut,[3] devoted to documenting examples of the phrase being used. There is also a Reddit bot[4] that appears when the joke is made on Reddit.
