I will not say my nickname in public.

SEKA's avatar

Nope, mine was “damnittohell”. According to my mom, I was a hand full

@lucillelucillelucille guuuuuuuurl, still a hard no.

ucme's avatar

Mine was Willy & that took courage to admit!

lucillelucillelucille's avatar

@SEKA -Mine was just shortened to Dammit but I also responded to a well-known religious figure’s moniker. lol

lucillelucillelucille's avatar

@ucme -They wrote a song about that!

No, but pretty close. My nickname was “mad” or “mad girl”

Brenzev (after Brezhnev)

ragingloli's avatar

Mine was “Mongol”.

rebbel's avatar

@lucillelucillelucille Yep.
And some others, with my family name incorporated in them.
Amongst others, Brambo…

@lucillelucillelucille Ahem, less of the little if you please.

chyna's avatar

Apparently @Seka and I had the same parents.

Mimishu1995's avatar

@lucillelucillelucille why do you like it?

To put in context, that was the nickname my bullies gave me to make fun of my weirdness daydreaming habit. But I’d love to hear another interpretation.

lucillelucillelucille's avatar

@ucme I’ve heard that’s what she said

Vignette's avatar

Mine was pretty long “Fortheloveofgod”

lucillelucillelucille's avatar

@Mimishu1995 -Forget the bullies, that nickname gives you a little fire!

SEKA's avatar

@chyna I knew I had a long lost sister – welcome home!

lucillelucillelucille's avatar

@Brambo- :D
@Vignette -Monogrammed towels would cost you a fortune!
@chyna -That’s just funny!

KNOWITALL's avatar

My family wouldn’t even think about cussing a kid.

They usually called me Apple Jack (my favorite cereal.)

Vignette's avatar

@lucillelucillelucille I had to cut costs and simply have FTLOG embroidered on towels and boxers

@Vignette – Did they ever put a vowel between the F&T?

Demosthenes's avatar

In middle school I got a nickname from friends that I never liked: “smallfry”, because I was a very tiny kid.

SEKA's avatar

I developed rather rapidly between the 6th and 7th grade. My preacher’s son gave me the nic of “Bubbles”. I found it very embarrassing at the time

Vignette's avatar

@lucillelucillelucille Actually I do add the letter A… rolls off the tongue better.

lucillelucillelucille's avatar

@Demosthenes -Those are the same people who make the mistake of underestimating others.

lucillelucillelucille's avatar

@Demosthenes -Sounds like a Frank Zappa song.

Myself and a childhood friend were called “the dynamic duo” because of how uncontrollable we were.

Love_my_doggie's avatar

I often thought my nickname might have been, “Go play in the freeway.”

Fortunately, that sentence was always said with a lilt and a smile, never in true anger.

lucillelucillelucille's avatar

@ARE_you_kidding_me – :D
@Love_my_doggie -Lmao! I like their sense of humor.

Dutchess_lll's avatar

My folks didn’t cuss around us kids.

KNOWITALL's avatar

@Dutchess Were they in KS, too?

Dutchess_lll's avatar

What? Where else would they be? They took us kids with them every time they moved.

KNOWITALL's avatar

@Dutchess I figured, sounds like Midwest family. :) I appreciate it more the older Iget, truly.

Dutchess_lll's avatar

Well. Mom was born and raised in the Pacific Northwest. Dad was born and raised in Texas. I find people who cuss around their kids disgusting. Don’t get me started on parents who cuss AT their children.
My ex was born and raised in Minnesota and we didn’t cuss in front of the kids.
I think it’s a class thing more than a geographic thing.

I often hear “Dammit Janet!” It’s the only word that rhymes with my name.

Dutchess_lll's avatar

I always thought Damn It Janet was referring to the Frizzer thread….

lucillelucillelucille's avatar

@Jonsblond – Rocky Horror! Awesome :)

Jons_Blond's avatar

@Dutchess_lll That’s my luck to share the same name. =)

@lucillelucillelucille It sure is.

lucillelucillelucille's avatar

@Jonsblond -That was a fun movie to go see.

Dutchess_lll's avatar

Can you believe I’ve never seen Rocky Horror?!

Vignette's avatar

^^**VIRGIN**^^

KNOWITALL's avatar

@Vignette (throws popcorn)

@Dutchess Lol, its an annual event here.

Vignette's avatar

@KNOWITALL (Flings toast in your general direction)

KNOWITALL's avatar

@Vignette I want to hand you wine, pull up a chair and talk about our favorite parts. You get bonus new friend points if you know all the songs, too. Triple for dances. :D

Vignette's avatar

@KNOWITALL My jaw would hurt from laughing as we all mouth our appropriate parts…Janet!.. Dr.Scott!.. Janet!.. Brad!.. ROCKY!

RabidWolf's avatar

For me, it was: “Goddammit Get Your Ass Down here.“I once considered climbing out the very small window and running. But I had no place to run to, so I went down and faced the music.
