The Nickname Game


Hot Toddy called Gus to wish him a happy birthday last night. And by Gus, I mean his brother "Tim." Todd's brother and most of his friends have obscure nicknames that I don't get. No one really knows where the names came from, (at least they're not spilling that information to me).

There's Blitz, Barnes (not his last name by the way) Big Fig, Little Fig, (?), Fred (of course, because his name is Vince). You get the idea.

Todd's friends call him Toddo. At least that one makes sense?
But seriously, this guy is gonna give me crap about Hot Toddy?
BTW, now he's really gonna kill me.

LOL! Did he grow up in a small town? Kory thought it was funny when he heard some of my guy friend's nick names, too. Like Opie. Whose name is Robert. And Thumper. Whose name is Justin. And Splintz, whose name is Vance... I never thought it was strange. Ha! Must be a small town thing?

:)

Hot Toddy is a great nickname...although probably not as fine as your other secret nickname...any day now you can tell all of us...
I recently moved from a leetle place where the swaggering guy who wore no shirt but did sport an always open-to reveal-his-hairy-chestiness-leather vest, was called, by everyone, "chick". They didn't even smirk whrn they said it. And there was also "Bimbo". Grown man,father musician, felon. Bimbo. Maybe Todd can explain?

Our secret nickname is where Todd draws the line.

My lips are zipped.


Love "chick and bimbo." Thanks for sharing!

Love "chick and bimbo."

Could that super secret nickname be "love chick"?

I call my sister Beluga. Her name does not start with a "b"; she bears no particular resemblance to whales; but she likes the nickname and only when I'm angry with her do I say "Alyssa!".

Michelle O'Neil said...

Yes, I know I'm in trouble if Todd addresses me as "Michelle."

Wow, Hot Toddy really is hot. He looks like one of those hot villians in one of the soaps.
