Who am I today? Do you have a Nickname?

“Oooo, what a night. Who am I today? Let's see.

My mother called me, "Paul," one ex called me, eh...well, never you mind. Same about another ex!
Three children call me "Dad," Two call me, "Daddy," and one doesn't call me!
My Chinese relatives and about 200 others, mostly chinese, call me, "Uncle."
In the local pool hall I'm known as, "Skipper."
In the Republic of Panama my friends call me, "Pablo."
On the trail I have frequently been called, "Panama Paul," and sometimes, for short, just, "Panama."
And at TT I'm best known as, "nowslimmer," and sometimes as, "bonecrusher." For a while I was "AdakHiker," but I lost my password. And I'm sure everyone knows my other 20 or so TT names.
I was called, "One-ball Paul." That was after I bowled a game with a strike with the first ball in every frame, before leaving the 5-pin on the 11^th ball, ending with a score of 289.
Years ago at a bar in Minnesota I was know as, "8-ball."
After all my trips to sea I was called, "Barnacle Paul, back from the brimy deep."
In school I was frequently called to the office.
And the reason I'm broke is that my broker called me too many times with "bad news!"
Whenever I take the car in for servicing, they call me with, "We've found the cause of the problem. Are you sitting down?"
I've been called, "What's his name," "Hey, You!," and "Over there!"
While in the Army, my 1^st Sgt. always addressed me with, "Give me 20!"
The police call me regularly for donations.
At work my boss called me, "Good-for-nothing." I proved him wrong by pointing out that I could always be used as a "bad example."
I can't recall all the times I've been called out!
And I always get called, when I'm bluffing!

How 'bout you? Can you recall any of your nicknames?”

“wow.. i got nothing that exciting:

mel, melis, liss, lissy, evil meliz, melvin (thanks bobo!), scorchy, scorchfire, babe, noodle, tot, seattle mariner (my last name is mariner).... and i can't remember any more.”

“In High School, all the girls called me "Horse".”

“During High School Football I was called The Icebox. The Fridge was already taken and I was the biggest guy on the team.”

“My last two trips with a certain group wound up with us making camp well after dark. For some reason they renamed me nighthiker”

“"sin"”

“spaz

beaker

2scoops

“You forgot one there, 2poops. ;)”

“aaaaahhhhh shut it, jailbait =-P”

“Hey Paul... maybe we should just call you 'Nick'? *vbg*

your wife tells me its "Mr 89 Seconds" now”

“Used to be that in the South, it was common for everyone to have a nickname. In my wife's Sand Mountain branch of the family, they still give nicknames to the kids, and everyone goes by them, to the point where she doesn't even know their real names.

It's still common enough that older people have their nicknames listed in their obituary, like this guy.

I gotta wonder if it's really some sick practical joke though.”

“My last nickname was Jalapeno. pronounced phonetically like the Jalop in "Jalopy" and a short "eno".

My own(?) invention of Spanglish. I used it on the cooks when I first started working at the last restaurant:

"Which Quesadilla is without Jalapenos"?

They had no idea what I was talking about. I repeated the word several times to their confused looks. I then picked one up and repeated my Spanglish word. They about pissed their pants thinking I didn't know how to pronounce "Jalapeno".

and for some reason i can't open your link.

“but did you say kweso-dilla?”

“Nope, no nickname's in my part.

Everyone you knew was either "Bud" or "Bubba". Sort of a community name, no one could hardly claim it for their own.”

“My father and most of his brothers used nicknames (or their middle names) their entire lives. A friend of my dad once complained to him that he couldn't find him or any of his brothers listed in the phone book. My dad laughed and told him that it was because the phone book listed their real names, lol. The guy thought he was using their real names!


LOL! Chili, my dad is "Bud."

“80?, well he was a little old to be a skin head, so that doesn't seem to explain it.”

“Maybe he had a funny little mustache.”

“chili - by 80 most of us are skin-heads. Good luck, if you want to be different, but most folks will recognize your hair as a "rag."

“LOL! I did not say "kweso-dilla". That would have really thrown them off! I did like saying "Lamo". "Me Lamo Jalapeno". LOL.

I would think "Hitler" had a Chaplin stache and might have been "crusty"?”

“Mah kin has nicknames like th' follering:

Cooter, Rastus, Boo, Darnell, Griz, Mavis, Buttlips, Slappy, Skeeter, Bo an Cletus.”
