Nicknames: You're called WHAT?
So, being back home from college, I've found that I have to once again get accustomed to the nickname I had in high school. Many of my good friends from home still call me 'Smitty' or 'Shmitty', based, unsurprisingly, on my last name. And it got me thinking about all the other names I had for a little while while in high school.
-Japanime: What a few girls on the soccer team called me in an attempt to make fun of my anime hobby. -Shades: When I wore glasses, I had the lenses that darkened when I was outside, so people were surprised by the sudden set of 'shades' I was wearing. -Kamikaze: This was a massive failed attempt to make fun of me in French class. The dicks in the class didnt like that a friend and I spoke more Japanese in the class than French, so they took the one thing they knew and tried to make it an insult. When I thanked them, and explained that they had actually given me a gorgeous nickname (rough translation: Divine Wind of God), I never heard the name again. I'm sure there were more, but lord knows if I remember them all. In the end, 'Smitty' is the only one that stuck it out. What were you called when you were younger, and why? Were some of your nicknames witty, or downright cruel? Did any of them last into your older years, and if so, do you wish they'd fade away, or are you ok with them? Or were you the one giving out nicknames? Jam it back in, in the dark.  |

Silly me, I forgot the nickname given to me by my very own parents. My two sisters and I were all given nicknames when we were younger, and I kid you not, my very cruel nickname was Porky.
I remember HATING this nickname with a passion (can you blame me?), so much so that I tried to change it, and give a nickname to myself. My older sister's parent-given nickname was Scooter, so I really wanted to change my nickname to Skeeter, like the twins in the Muppet Babies. Well, I'm now more than relieved that THAT nickname didnt stick, as... well... Skeeter? No thanks. The irony of Porky is that after all the baby fat disappeared, I'm the slimmest out of my sisters and I. There's nowhere I can't reach. |
