[QUOTE=Yeeter] I don’t mean to derail this thread, but is there any way to get out of a nickname that you don’t like?

I call **TonyF** , Tonybear. Well, mostly in front of my brother to gross him out. Otherwise I call him “love” or “anata”, he does the same in return. But sometimes he calls me Chesty McBreasty. I’m sure you all can guess why someone would call another person that. :rolleyes: Oh, he also calls me Godzilla from time to time due to my massive burps that can “destroy Mothra”. We have such a loving relationship. ---

Heh. No, I fully expected fireworks – but when I dropped it on her it went approximately like this: “You are _such_ a cunt, Beanie.” _“What?!”_ “Oh, I mean that in the best possible sense of the word.” “Okay, then.” She didn’t even give me any reason to trot out all the defenses I had ready. 😕 ---
