I prefer **twicks** , but am fine with both **twick** and **twix**.

**MIS** , **M,I,S,!** , **Malleus** … pretty much anything except “he” is okay by me.

I’d rather you called me Skald than Rhymer. There’s two posters here who sometimes calls me “The” in email, but that’s only because they’re trying to annoy me to death.

Just about anything that can be substituted would be _better_ substituted with cotton candy! I’ve always liked you, but I like you _more_ after reading this!😉

Oh, good, because this is what I tend to think of when I see your name on a post!:p:D

Mad or Swine is good.Just don’t call me The.
Other sites I visit call me Pig or Piggy.

“Tripod” for me I guess. (Sigh.) It’s a curse, not a blessing.

El Moocherino if you’re not into the whole brevity thing.

Really Not All That Bright (can’t remember if it has spaces) is usually abbreviated to RNATB.

I like R.
But unfortunately it’ll make no sense. So I suppose I’ll just sign off on some of my posts with it, and you people will call me **Toejam** , which is fine with me.
-R

This just kinda struck me amusing- because all these years I’ve been reading and all, I never made the connection with you and pigs. I always think of you and spotted cows for some reason.
No clue why. Oh wait. Mad Cow Disease. That’s why I do it. I just see the Mad and three words and just assume the rest.

And don’t forget ‘ **Teh** ’! 😃 But then, I might be the queen of giving obnoxious nicknames. Just ask **Mauvie** (that’d be **Asimovian** to everyone who doesn’t live in my head)
I prefer S’tyger\*, but Silver or STG works.
- my nickname everywhere else is Silvercat, which I like shortened to S’kat or S’kitty, or occasionally, for dear friends, S’kittles.

But you make ME call you _S’kat_. Fine. Be that way. I don’t care.

I’m good with tumbled or TD, not so much with tum. My name is TR so you can call me that too.

Dins abbreviates me to Dang - I think he’s the only one. But lots of people abbreviate him to Dins. And his isn’t even long.
