SkinnyDomicile says,

Jesus said, "Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it" (Matthew 7:13, 14).

so that's where the name comes from! hopefully I'm on the same path too bro :)

Actually, KharisJo, the name Skinny_Domicile comes from HOLY TANGO OF LITERATURE, a book of literary anagrams and parodies by Francis Heaney. "Skinny domicile" is Heaney's anagram of "Emily Dickinson." His parody of Dickinson's poetry begins with the following two lines: "I have a skinny domicile. / Its door is very narrow." The opening line of one of Dickinson's poems reads: "You're right: 'the way is narrow.'" That poem of hers is based on Matthew 7:13, 14 (which I have quoted above).

"Holy tango" is an anagram of "anthology."
