    I always find this topic amusing, so I thought I'd start a thread about it.

    Do you have any random nicknames that your friends have given you?  If so, what are they and what's the story behind the nickname, if there is one?

    I have a lot of nicknames with my theatre department here, and there are stories behind them.  So let's start off with the easily explainable, and then go to the amusing ones.

    Disney (because I work for Disney and one of the professors here moved from Orlando 4 weeks before school started.  He worked for Universal Studios, so we have a mock-rivalry)

    Mickey (obvious reasons)

    Joe (I have a shirt that says "Joe" on the front and "Momma" on the back)

    Lil One (because I am the smallest person that works with the theatre department, so I'm everyone's "pet")

    Shorty McBigjugs (one of my "big brothers" gave me that nickname because I am small but I'm...well endowed?)

    Smacks (When I was drilling a hole through two 2x4s, the only way I could stand to get a good angle was with my butt straight up in the air.  One of the head tech people said "Hey Joe" and I looked between my legs to see who was calling me.  All of a sudden I felt a *smack*.  I stood up, looked at the person that did it, and said "Spam, if you're going to smack my ass, make sure you get a good porn star smack sound from it.  Like this" and I smacked my own butt.  Then I bent back over to continue drilling and said, "Now try again.")

    In Florida, I got either Shananigans (because apparently I cause trouble?!?!) or one of my managers called me Shanahan. Shananigans stuck and was my Canadian Girls name.

    Blondie because I'm blonde and sometimes I don't get jokes...

    Rosa which means pink, I love to wear a lot of pink. I know I'm too old, but its fun!

    GhettoBooty is my nickname on my sisters cell, I don't really want to elaborate on that...

    Flaggstang which means flagpole, is an old nickname one of my friends had for me because I'm quite tall and I once had red bra straps peeping out under a double layered blue and white top. So there was one strap of each color... tragic, I know!

    Kriss is my personal fave. You might be able to guess my name now...

    Jimbob - Not sure how that one started but I liked it and just stuck with it

    Printer Jim - When I started Working at Circuit City It was a few days before black Friday so they only had time to teach me about one department and it was Printers. So since I was back there all the time I got the name. Best thing was my boss made it so that on the schedule instead of my last name it said Printer and every one for the longest time thought my real last name was Printer.

    That’s about it besides the names that I have picked up on the forums here. :p

    mine started at camp a couple of years ago. Sarah was for some reason too long to say, so they just used to shout "SAR" then that turned into Sar Bear. Everyone calls me that now, have sweaters and everything with my new name on it.
    Also called shorty sometimes too ;D

    My friends at school always called me BUG but since leaving school I've kinda of lost that name. They called me bug because, aparently I was quite buggin! (Can you believe that?!) and beacuse I was the smallest :-( Which I hate! Stupid genes stopped me growing at 12!
    Other than that I've not really had any nick names. (Dull huh!)

    Okay, I guess I'll just say which ones are the most common (and another common one I just remembered)

    My common ones are Disney, Mickey (people are amazed that I'll respond to it like it's my actual name!) Lil One and the new one:

    Tink (Or Tinkerbell): I have a blue totebag with Tink with sequins and beads on it, my lanyard is Tinkerbell, and my favorite hooded sweatshirt has Tinkerbell on the front, with pixie wings on the back. So if anyone sees me with my back to them, and can't remember (or hasn't learned) my name, they just call "Tink!" and I answer.
