A nickname

[Kylie]

Do you have a nickname?

What is it, who gave to you and why?

 

[MrDawn]

I was called "cracker" on a daily basis when I went to an all black, African American, middle school in Arkansas. For some reason I thought it had something to do with food. But no. It's a racial stereotype used towards Caucasians.

 

[JennyorAlice]

The nickname I had during high school was Rambo. There's a big ol' long story behind how I got that name.

 

[Merciless]

Not really although my friends and family just call me dickhead most of the time.

 

[Ash]

I always thought it was a new term but I guess it's been a term used for a while. Never understood where the term came from, to be honest.

Wild Thing (given to me by my Dad). It's not only because of my job. It's also because I do wild things.

 

[Oblivion Knight]

Dobo (because my surname is Dobson)
Nemo (shortened from 'Nemesis' - a poker nickname because I'm not afraid to make gutsy calls)
Nerdface (because I wear glasses, and I'm a self-confessed nerd)

 

[Shavkat]

I was nicknamed "Teban," and it was given after my great-grandfather. Perhaps I was a special baby boy, and my grandmother nicknamed me this name.
