@William,
I was given it at school, for having a tinge of colour in my hair that was orange, plus I ate an orange iceblock every day. I was long armed, so that didn't help unless I was in a tree where my mobility was quite remarkable. I in fact assured then that I was urangutan.
I checked the thesaurus under the word name, no avatar to be found. I guessed it was that but I wasn't quite sure.
