The term is an abbreviated term from one of the Dennis McKiernan Iron
Tower trilogy books. In it the boys from the village played a game
similar to King of the Hill, except they contested for a large
stepping stone over the local stream. Rill is another term for stream
so their game was actually called King of the Rill, the Winner, King
of the Rill Rock.

When I was first setting up an email account I wanted something
obscure that most people would not think of as a form of security.
The Name of the Account has no link to me personally unless you were
very familiar with my reading habits and could remember that specific
term was in one of the books I had read. So I thought it would
protect my identity from those who had no business reading my email.

So not terribly creative on my part credit Mr McKiernan, while you're
at it read the Iron Tower Trilogy, it is an action packed yarn where
his version of the Hobbits are the main protagonists.

Hope that satisfied your curiosity.
