Charlie: **Fatty McLardass** Cute story: I teach elementary school. One day I was chit-chatting with a couple of 5th grade girls about our pets. Without thinking, I blurted that we called our cat **Fatty McLardass**. I immediately realized the inappropriateness of that name and sincerely apologized to the girls for my bad language. (Many teachers fear the occasion they will let a swear word slip.) The sweet little 11-year-old assured me, “Oh, that’s okay. He can’t help it that he’s fat.” [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/do-you-have-nicknames-for-your-pet-s-of-course-you-do-2nd-edition/650126.md?page=3)
