Join the Fun!

The very concept of high school nicknames is kind of odd and silly. People will pick up upon the most random thing and make it part of their daily interactions. Which isn't inherently bad, because a lot of the time, these nicknames will stick and make the repetitive nature of the routine and names less boring.

The randomness of these nicknames is, what I feel, makes them so entertaining. It seems as if one can take anything about a person, or what they've done and attach that to them as a way to address them.

Sibling nicknames are often ridiculous. I'm putting together a slideshow for my sister's 21st and am planning on going through all of them. Her name is Caitlin, so there were variations on that like, Cat, Kitty-Cait, Caitie etc but then there is Chicken (no idea why that started, but apparently after we began calling her that she convinced herself that she actually was a chicken) Crumby monster (because she still can't eat something without leaving crumbs everywhere) and Devil child (because she almost always has really big dilated pupils).

I'm friends with his sister on Instagram now and she said a few years back when I got back in touch with her brother briefly her dad was so happy to hear that "Hamburger Boy" had done well in life. In training school in the Army, this one girl had a really long Russian last name with like one consonant. We called her Alphabet. She said it was her favorite nick name ever.

Knew a guy who's original name was Gordon. Started calling him Flash bc he liked flash clothes. Had 2 motorcycle accidents within a month so he became Crash. :)

I was dubbed "frog" in high school because I would flail my arms about when I cheered during sporting events and such. And I was also a big Muppets fan.
