[JazmenFlowers]

am I on a thread roll or what?

I'm curious...do you have a nickname or nicknames? what are they and what are their origins?

when i was really little, my grandfather called me spud.

when i was in elementary school, my 4-year-old autistic neighbor couldn't say my name, so he called me dewey. that stuck for ... a long time. i don't know how he got dewey out of carrie, but he was autistic, so i didn't ask.

now i just answer to "hot shiz."

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.

Here's a few that my Mom nicknamed me:

"Whitey Ford" (After the NY Yankees great)
Punk
Fart-knocker
"Dinky Shaffer" (Named after a co-worker of my Dad, who was rather vertically challenged - Of course everyone thought I would NEVER be tall, That was until I hit my mid-20's, then I started to grow)

Just remembered a couple that still annoys me:
"Bri"
"Brian Dub" (For my popular initial "W.")
--or even worse--
"B.J." (Obvious sexual innuendo)

[Peestie]

All my friends call me Peestie, hence my screen name. I got this nickname 8 years ago. I went to a grammar school and we had a slightly eccentric Latin teacher who would nickname all his pupils (don't know why!) and I became Peestie because it's a combination of my real name, Peter Stitt. It just stuck from them on and everyone calls me it now, even my mum sometimes lol.

When I was in junior high, kids called me "Bones" because I was extremely thin.

My father calls me "Brucie Boy" when he's in a jovial mood and a couple of co-workers call me "Brucie".

My closest friends call me "Boo" or "Booder" and my best friend, Patrick, calls me "Bruster".

My boyfriend calls me "Stud".

only you...


o.k...in real life..haha...

my best friend calls me "mitchell" and a couple of people at work call me "chelle" (or "shell" how ever you want to spell it )

I've never really had a nickname until about 2 years ago. there's not a lot you can do with "michelle" except add numbers to the back of it

on here it's just "mole-butted, bop loving freak from kentucky"

(for carrie-just call me inspiration.....)

Well, my real name is Catherine, but I go by Kate or Katie. My great grandmother spelled her name the same way, and her nicknames as well.

I have sooo many other nicknames, but Katums is probably the most popular. I can't remember who started calling me by that, but it stuck for years. It's such a cutesy name, too, which is definitely ironic.

Another one is "Fivehead." Long story short, I was in Drawing class, and we were doing face proportions. Well, my art teacher told us to measure the length of our noses, and see how big it was compared to the forehead. My forehead? Larger. So I was like, hey, my forehead is a bit bigger. My art teacher? "Oh, Kate does have a rather large forehead!" I covered my forehead with my bangs, just to piss her off, and a friend of mine was all "oh, shut up, fivehead," and that was that. To this day, a few of my friends refer to me as Fivehead.

Oh, and this is not really a nickname, but my boyfriend & some of my other guy friends call me Joan Jett. I guess it's because I have a Jett-like haircut. The MOAR you know, amirite?

Kate also goes by 'k7.' Little-known ~*fact*~.

My mom called me 'Boo Boo' a hot minute ago. Like Yogi & Boo-Boo, I guess. Lame, I know.

Nowadays it's more or less Gregums, Greggie, Gweggah and other variations of it, or if you're Kate, Sugartits. I have a nice support system going.
