silly nick names

[Teejai]

I dont have a nickname, but one of my sister's do, we use to call her  *Forgetful-Jones*, due to the fact, she was always forgetting, where she placed items, etc,....  If I would ask her to pick me up from my destination in 5 to 10 minutes, I found myself waiting for a long period of time, I had to call her back, and find out why she didnt show up and she would always laugh and say, *Oh,...I forgot*. My nephews and nieces would call my mother *Mima*, instead of grandma and they would call my father *Pipa* instead of grandpa. Both my parents fell in love with their nicknames. So both my parents wanted my nephews and nieces to stick by that nickname, *Mima and Pipa*.

When I was in high school, I got the nickname "Torpedo" from the swim team I was on... I think it was because I'd swim the butterfly and would start out the race by just kicking underwater for about a half-length of the pool before I'd surface.

My BFF has also given me the nickname "Sparkles" sometimes... She calls me that when I do some stupid move that I knew was wrong but just wasn't thinking about it at the time. Like on Saturday night, we were going over to a friend's house for cards, and I start driving past their exit on the highway (I forgot that they had moved a few months ago): BFF - "Where ya going, Sparkles?" Me - "Oh crap! Right, they moved! Oops!"

Everyone had a nickname in the high school I went too.  Most stuck with the people throughout life.
