Reasons you will hate me

I went to a lecture/talk that Piet Collins gave, and from memory, he called you "relatively young." Maybe that could be your nickname.

"Sup, relatively young?"

"Just chillin'"

All I'm sayin'.

I love nicknames, but have personally remained immune, much to my chagrin. The closest I get is 'Tobes' which I hate, depending on the tone. Although my friend 'Badger' calls me 'T-Man', but this has never stuck.

I had some friends who I only ever knew by their nicknames. After several years I found out that Stinky was actually Adam and Nazza was really Gregory and it changed the way I thought about them.

I never did find out what Squirrel-Gripper's name was.

My brother has a nickname for me (no, you may not know it) that has led to his children (my nephews, for fuck's) not knowing my real name.

[A phone conversation]

Me: Hi. It's [real name]

Nephew: .......?

Me: Your auntie.

Nephew: .......?

Me: [nickname]

Nephew: Oh! Hi.

He's ten.

Is Fits not your nickname then? Because I quite like Fits.

Well it's not all good, I had to go as far as putting my nickname on my business card(and not my job description) because most people I dealt with didn't know my real name.
Actually it isn't that bad.

La Nadine calls me Fits. Although I must say 'relatively young' has a certain charm.

how about

Eric

The Fitonator

Mother of Pearl

Sweetlips

Fitty McFitpants

Newand (you could have a buddy called Improved)

hell those are all crap.

I would have thought Fits was your nickname too.

So many to go with my name. "Dilemma," "Emmaroid," life can be so unfair.

I like the sound of Fitty McFitpants, though...

Eric? I love Eric for you. Especially if you still insist on calling me Gavin whenever you see fit.

Let us change our answering machine AT ONCE.

"Hi you've called Eric and Mutzi. Please leave us a message."

I think "lumpen lediours" may well be the coolest thing I have ever read.

You write wonderfully.

I have a particular bunch of friends who, I'm not sure know that my name isn't, in fact, weelie.

(it isn't)

As long as people feed me with nice things, they can call me pretty much anything they like and I won't mind.

I too would have thought fits was your nickname.

'Eric and Mutzi' is a sitcom waiting to happen.

Although 'Eric and Gavin' has a nice ring to it as well.

And I just remembered that yesterday I was called 'TOBY Toby' by Eric. That probably doesn't count as a nickname ... and it's hard to speak in CAPS.

Eric and Gavin sounds like the name of a gay couple who are 'really into' cycling and html.



You shall evermore be TOBY Toby, by the way. That's how these things happen.

p.s. I am also a big fan of Sweetlips. And Dollface, even though that wasn't one of yours.

Damn it!
Can't I be 'Dr Kenobi Dodecahedron'?

STOP TRYING TO BUCK THE SYSTEM, T.T.

HA! Awesome!
TOBY Toby gets shortened to Tt!

excuse me munchkin, divine miss m, peach, little one, H-stuff, WHERES MY NICKNAME?

I'm glad Eric and Sweetlips meet with approval. Eric is my destined name for a cat or dog if I ever get one. But perhaps I can forgo it for you Fitty.

Some others to consider:

FizzMitten

FurryKitten

LappyLicious

Less than Appropriate

Likes to Bathe

Humanahhumahhnah

Fits2.0

Like a Glove

Fitten (a bit too German)

Copious

Ample

Plenty

etc etc.

i've also been known to call you 'nurse vaginal pleasure' at times. but only when you call me 'nurse tittyfuck'.

love cans, mad cans, hot cans, nadstown, nads, nadsi, nadinkle, dene, dene dend, busty mcgillicutty...

for a while there i was called 'starch' as an abbreviation of 'starchy arsehole'.

no, i have never had one of *those* afflictions.

it was just simple rhyming slang for my surname.

and rubydoomsday (yes, i did nick it from the short-lived band) came from me being sick of being called ruby tuesday all the time – turns out every fucker could hang a name on me...

i think fits is a wonderful nickname - the implications are endless ... snugly, epileptic, -royalty etc ...

r

OI! I'M BUSTY MCGILLICUTTY! IT'S MY GANGSTER MOLL NAME, FOR FUCKS! Heh. And you are my big titted hussy, Nads Von Tittinburger, and together we unite to become The Racks Of Fury.

Before I moved to Melbourne, my only nickname was Jessie. Since my move, I've copped with alarming regularity...

- Jessculture
- Jessamie
- Messamie
- Richie Benaud (!!!)
- Barnsey
- Jessticular Cancer*
- Etc

Meanwhile, Ms Fits - I have given you several pet names. Parkinsons? Adorable Nickname Yet To Be Created? Woman? Pud? CLOOOOOONEH?

I like Clooney best and vow to make it stick. That is all.


*Okay. I made that one up. WHERE WERE YOU PEOPLE AND WHY DID YOU NOT THINK OF IT FIRST?

Jess,

Rest assured, if, by chance, we ever meet, and, somehow, I actually work out that you are THE Jess, and, it goes without saying, you like my use of commas, I will be calling you Jessticular Cancer.

That is gold.

jizzamie

I don’t think I have met you Fits... though perhaps have seen you strutting around...

But we play a fun game of figuring out the animal that fits (no pun in tended) each of us and henceforth this is what we refer to each other as.

I am a fox.
There is also a;
Seal, Chimp, Monkey, Leopard (my favourite), and a Giraffe.

What animal are you fits? (This can be Friday Q if you like) usually you don’t get to decide what animal you are... but exceptions are made for bogging i guess.

So Holly C isn't a nickname? Hmmm...

My only real nicknames have been Rich, Richo (rarely used, mostly by the odd blokey friend), Wattsy (used throughout high school and recently forgotten til Woody started using it again recently, and Richie (but only my mum gets to call me that!).

I need a nickname too. *sigh*

Heh. Word verification for this comment in 'fksidiu'... fuks i'd i u?

Wait, I strut?



Now there's a shocking revelation for a Thursday afternoon.

Ms Fits - something even scarier than not knowing someone's real name is not knowing who someone is at all! I've been asked out on a date by someone I've obviously met in the last seven days because they refer to chatting with me at a pivotal event, yet I have no idea who they are...none at all. Bad memory! No doughnut!

I've had one nickname I liked and far too many I hated, usuallly phonetic variations on my full name. Also, I don't have a last name that lends itself to being used – I'm thinking of changing it to McNulty instead.

You MUST go, richardwatts. Just think how exciting all your dates will be if you have no memory of the previous one. You'll be like the relationship goldfish.

Deal, strutty.

I think you're the only one who calls me "Fluffbox" but I do love it dearly. I'm getting called Fluffy to the point where I know have to think briefly about who to introduce myself as.

Fluffy
Fluff
Fluffernator
Fluuf
Floofins

i've not had a nickname since i was young .. back then my sister called me ugly and i called her fatso (affectionately abbreviated to ugs and fats).

i think i saw you at brunetti's last weekend, ms fits. i wasn't sure enough it was you to come and heap praise upon you though.

maybe next time ...

That was me, Ugs. I was with Gabi. From memory we were dressed in a similar fashion and looked utterly lesbonic.


These two facts are not related. Please say hello next time.

fine. i'll be ugs again.

*sobs heartwrenchingly at memory of childhood trauma*

i will definitely say hello next time. now i have a name and all.

my nicknames:

Didi (I insisted this was actually my name until I was 6, I think it was some past life thing/birth trauma)
Fingers (it was from my piano teacher)
Semolina (from my mum's best friend)
Custard (from my best friend's mum, look, I like food alright? and she makes a mean custard)
Lobe (aforementioned Thai friend's nickname, referencing ears not frontal)
Aunty (Ms Fits' nickname for me in high school)

For you I like Fits/Fits2.0/Fitty McFitpants the best. Or I could call you 'Niece Fits'.

IT WAS AFFECTIONATE, UGS.


p.s. Sublime-ation:

Didi Fingers Semolina Custard Lobe Aunty? That's a good wholesome lesbian night out in my book.

Fluffy, you forgot: H.R. Fluff'n'stuff.

Bit late, but how about Fitty scent?

Not having any siblings, I had never been bestowed with a nickname until i entered cyberspace. Everytime i join up a website or whatever I always used "D" as my name, but when i joined a particular forum "D" was already taken, so i imaginatively (ie too lazy to think of anything else) came up with "D*" and Dstah was born.

I deperately need Friday questions. I'm in serious danger of doing actual work here!

I never had a nickname until I began my current job. Since then I have acquired "Metro" and "Gatsby".

No doubt because of my urbane sensibility and fondness for lawn tennis.

You MUST go, richardwatts. Just think how exciting all your dates will be if you have no memory of the previous one. You'll be like the relationship goldfish.

Oh if you insist. At least if will give me something non-arts related to blog about. ;-)

But a relationship goldfish? How much would that suck? The sex would never, ever get better!

So, the lady you've referred to on here as "Fishbox" gets called that in front of your mum?
