Nicknames

I was just wondering how nicknames come about. Are we allowed to give our selves nicknames or do they have to be given to us. I have 8 million none that i have made up myself. I am just bored at work, but it has come to my attention that a certain someone that write on this blog uses one that he dubbed for himself. It was also used on a very popular movie about fraternity life and John Belushi was the star. I was just wondering this isnt an attack from Big Angry but from now on i may dub me Bear

Big Angry said...

I know it rolls off the tongue, but i didnt start calling myself that but i am going with it because it Big Angry shows my softer side. It was just an observation and i was just trying to keep with the animal theme that others use

"In Viking societies, many people had nicknames (heiti, viĆ°rnefni or uppnefi) which were used in addition to, or instead of their family names. In some circumstances the giving of a nickname had a special status in Viking society in that it created a relationship between the name maker and the recipient of the nickname, to the extent that the creation of a nickname also often entailed a formal ceremony and an exchange of gifts." - Wikipedia

Big A,

We all must hide behind our blogger screen names, it makes it so much more fun to mess with you. Please help me make the list of nicknames, we will have to start with the easy ones.

Moose said...

Big Angry said...

we still havent heard any input from the flounder cause we know he isnt working

does calling somebody by their last name count as a nickname? If not, sometimes my mom gets mad at me and calls me "Mistake". Although I think that doesn't probably classify as one.

Flounder said...

Moose said...
