I hate any self-given nickname and refuse to call anyone a nickname that I didn't give them. it's so stupid. unless you've always known them by that name, it's retarded.
I'll break it down in case anybody's lost.
I have friends that go by these names, they've been called these names since childhood and/or every person I've ever heard address this person uses this name. always.
-sugar-my brother's best friend
-crack-friend, has nothing to do with the drug btw
-binny-childhood nickname, who knows
-tookie-same (my grandmother)
-helmet-that's how I was introduced
and so on...you get it.
I meet someone and noone refers to them as their so called "nick-name" but somehow they manage to keep it around long enough for other people to think someone must have given this name to this person. when in fact, they don't really have a nickname, cause noone gave them one and they need to stop it already.
pet peeves
