nicknames are often givin and some are unwanted. but can be owned if u start referring to yourself that way it can take away the power of a hurtfull one. as a gypsies kid i moved alot and recieved many nicknames at home i was called bully or little bull cause i have an ethnic name that liberally translated in latin as son of the bulls hearts blood which was also my dads name. elvis,for my hair in the 80s and my mom made me wear three peice corderoy suits. as a child i was called professor bugs at one school. duff at another one. captain smash in highschool football cause i smashed ppl. ogre as a nickname at another highschool cause i was much bigger and hairier than everyone else. as a gypsies kid i moved alot and had the opportunity to reinvent myself at each new place. so i would have to introduce myself to the new schoolmates each time. and i tried on many variations of my given name. since i was like 17 i have went by joe. and have always been referred to as big joe or some of my black friends call me jojo or jojodancer. their choice i dont dance maybe lumber around but not dance. now my wife calls me asshole but thats a term of endearment i call her bitch or mighty mouse. whenever i travelled ppl called me chicago jo or daego jo cuase i have a italian accent and i say chicago is where i am from but some of those nicknames where unwanted and i owned em cuase that made it easier to fit in at new places. their is always some asshole that thinks they have the right to call you what they want and they always have a couple of hangers on that suck their asses and act like their geniuses cause they can callout someones differences by a name or label you with a term of derision but i always drew strength from the names as elvis i took pride in my appearance as the professor i got good grades captain smash smashed qbs ogre kicked ppls asses. but none of those names did i ever take to heart or refer to myself as. i always thought of myself as my given name and i never gave anyone else a nickname i have met many strange ones my best friend goes by the weasel my roommate goes by dirty chavez my other bestfriend goes by chicken man they all owned their nicknames and were given them a nickname should be given or earned not invented because your name is _____ and you dont like it at least as an adult for a kid thats fine i dont think you truly know who you are until your like 25 and even thats kinda early for most dam i always type alot i never mean to but the words just spill out sorry for the extended ranting

Some kids tried stick the name "stilts" on me during a night of heavy drinking. (cause i'm 7 feet tall) But became incoherent to my own name later that night.
ha... reminded me of a kid.. "too tall"... i've met around a few times...the name is befitting

Don't generally remember too many , but in the summer of 09' I hitchhiked the PCH and met Richard aka "The world's first ex musician" , "Desi-MotherFucking-Ray" and some kid named "Wheels" who was in a wheelchair that had rollerblade wheels as replacement for the 2 stock ones issued in said chair , which I thought was pretty cool.... And some dude named "Dog-Balls" who said he used to skate with the greats in the 80's.... They have a movie called Lords of the Dogtown and he claimed he skated with em all.... Anyhow all above mentioned people were in or around Santa Cruz and Monterey Bay area the summer of 09', if you met or know any of em please PM me ..... Thx for the read , sweet thread as well original OP.

I think I've met at least 10 punk girls who call themselves "cunt" at this point. They normally have a dog in tow named either "puke" or "dumpster."

God, that is terrible. Why would you do something like that to your dog....

I go by Phoenix in a lot of my social circles, which is why I made it my screen name. Although when asked why people call me that I've been asked if I'm from there. I'm not, although I did live in Tempe for a minute. lol, I haven't started travelin yet, but I'm probably just going to go by it regardless because I'm so used to being called it :p It's grown on me and I wouldn't want another nickname. Lol, it'd be weird to me.
