Heh. It's a slang way to say you are very good at something, or a way to pretend you are very good at something. Or that you really enjoy something.
"Danger" is my middle name. This basically means, I am great at handling dangerous situations.
"Eating Cookies" is my middle name. I LOVE to eat cookies.
"Caution" is my middle name. I am a very cautious person.
In all cases, "_______" is my middle name.
is a boastful way of saying
I'm good at "_____________" or I like "_____________".
Unless, of course, your middle name really is "fútbol".
