Nicknames
No wonder I feel like I've got Sybil Complex. I've got a slew of nicknames!
Besides the usual variations of my formal name, my mother calls me 'Brook' (as in babbling), because I talk a lot!
I've been called 'Rabidly Nice'. I wasn't sure if that was a good thing or bad thing, so I smiled and said 'Thank you!'
But CleverToast is my all-time favorite. My grandfather used to tell me that I was just like toast. Small but good. Then I saw an ad that struck my fancy and it eluded to being toast-ish as well as being clever, so I took the nickname CleverToast. It epitomizes who I really am.
I create nicknames for just about every person I deal with. My dear friend Alison is 'JellyBean'. My eldest daughter is Kukula (Greek for little doll). The list goes on but I won't bore you...well maybe I will. The baby of the family has many nicknames. Tululah, Toolie, Em, Fathead.
Actually anyone who comes in contact with me will at some point be called FatHead. It's a great nickname. I also call most small children 'RatBag'. I used the nickname 'Ya Fat Bastard' ages ago and then someone put it into a movie! I didn't see any royalty checks coming so I created a local Website that could use it. It hasn't made me a dime either.
By for now FatHeads!
