now that is what I call a nickname.

I've had a variety of nicknames in my life, with significance on a few of them. first was "Butch", which my dad has always called me since I was little. they had to stop for a short while when I was younger, as my brother was only 3 and couldn't pronounce butch so he would say "'mere bitch!"

in high school, I was branded with the nickname "That 80s Boy" by my drama teacher, for my unbridled obsession with anything 1980s. it became my gimmick in high school, so I was always good for busting out the 80s tunes when we did a play or whatnot. senior year we got a new drama teacher, who insisted she rechristen everyone with her own nicknames - I got "Georgie", as she said the 80s made her think of Boy George. go figure.

these days, it's been a bevy of ploys on my real name - Nicketh and Nickiepoo (lol don't ask) are the newest two.
