what does the "T" in T-Pain stand for?

now i realise if you fossick enough on Google, you can find the answer. but i txted y'all to see if you guys knew just as like a general knowledge thing. and if not, what your best guess would be (ar alternatively, what you secretly wish his name to be).

my friends have their say:

"Theodore", -Vahe.
"Testicles", -Bec.
"Tro", -Hagop.
"Thrums", -Jeremy.
"Timbuck", -Raff.
"Terminal. Terminal Pain. thats why he chose black music to sing. cause it's one of the more upbeat and faster genres, and he doesn't have long left. you feel me?", -Mel.
"Throbbing", -Big Dave.
"Thyroid", -Nish.
"i heard it really stands for Trunk", -Bonaccers.
"what's a T-Pain?", -Al.
"Tigger Pain. cause everyone knows that's his secret identity", -Mel...again.
"it is in fact Tomahawk-Pain", -Tronsie.
"T = testicle", -Harryjuku.
"Tyrannosaurus", -Awad.
"Testicle :)", -Aram.
"Testiculor-Pain", -Taz.

AND, the moment you've all been waiting for, JASE ON BASS has actually got the answer:

"Tallahasse, as in his home town in Florida - heard it on a bio"

well there ya go folks.

Testicle had the majority, but Tallahasse-Pain it is.

but this new-found knowledge only leads to the next logical question.....why "PAIN"??

stay tuned.
