2008-05-21 11:53:00 As an exceptional athlete while growing-up, I always wanted one of those awesome nicknames that so many star players were known as, but it never happened for me.

thinking up hip hop nicknames: how about Puff Milton
2008-02-20 06:03:00 I should be rejoicing, celebrating the pain relief brought to me by Celebrex, now without stomach upset.And I would be if it wasn't for the edema, the scary kind.The rapid-weight gain, overnight I have not a pair of pants that fit kind of edema. Not even fat jeans, which left me in a skirt and tears before an impromptu barbeque with friends.I like to think of myself like the Queen, confident and assured, despite being heavier from steroids and general chubbiness.I like to think of myself being above weeping over pant sizes, but there I was: boo-hooing and frustrated to boot. The Celebrex worked wonders for my arthritis. I guess it just wasn't meant to be.So, I drank lots of water, and lo and behold, I was able to pry on some clothes the very next day.Onward I go, discouraged but moving.*****Oh, Much to My Sjogren received a little love today. She blushed and dug her toe in the sand...
50 nicknames for Mike Huckabee
2008-02-19 08:14:00 Republican Mike Huckabee's bizarre refusal to give up the fight has made him the butt of jokes by pundits and election junkies such as myself.Pity, the man has a radical proposal of eliminating income tax and replacing it with consumption tax which made very good sense to me the first time I heard about it.This is not some crazy religious guy. But his refusal to face reality makes him look like one.I think he should have just dropped out of the race and returned to fight another day in 2016. His stubbornneess will only kill whatever little respect people still have of him.Now RADAR has lost all respect when they came out with this:Some of my favorites: Mother Hucker, Sir Hucksalot, Mrs. Chuck Norris, Yippie Ka-Yay Mother Hucker, Mike Check, The Fightin' Fundamentalist and Huck on You. For the rest of the nicknames, click here.

Jack Nicholson Re-nicknames Victoria Beckham 'the Poshster'
2008-01-13 15:30:00 Victoria Beckham styled Jack Nicholson last year for his Parade magazine shoot.He recently spoken of his admiration for Victoria Beckham after the pair struck up a friendship.Nicholson said 'the Poshster' was "charming" and "lovely".The 70-year-old actor added cheekily: "She feels very good too. She's a very firm person, you know. She's in good shape."He said he loved the photoshoot and went on: "I loved working with the Poshster! And she was charming to me - dressed me up nice. I like to look good so I felt in good hands under her umbrella. A lovely gal."Poshter? I hope that nickname does not stick.Source

Nicknames for Boys.
2008-01-05 05:21:00 After my article on nicknames for girls, its time to delve into the world of nicknames for boys. In my earlier post, I went over the main reasons why parents give their children names with nicknames, and I'll re-hash (In other words copy and paste ;) ) the categories I made up:1. Having a cute pet name for the child .2. Being able to give their child a very formal name, but having something more cute and young or childhood or casual occasions.3. Being able to choose a long name.4. Having a more unique nickname for a child with a common name, so they're not Charles B or Charles W but Arlo.5. For when the child is a Junior or are named after someone who they'll have close contact with to avoid confusion.I'll give my favorites, ideas and examples for each 'reason' for giving a nickname, below:Reason one: Just having a nickname to call your kid by.These are just what you're average every day parent uses, for example "Jack" for Jackson, "Matt" for Matthew or "Davey" for David.Reas...

Real(ly Long) Names, Short Nicknames, and the Consequences of Your Online I
2007-11-15 17:23:00 Things became different when the Internet kicked in. You wanted an email address that could identify you as you, but unfortunately you lived in the Philippines and a million other Americans had beaten you to it. And thus began the unsavory fad of attaching numbers to cutesy, meaningless code names like bluewhiskers28, or unpronounceable aliases... [ This is a content summary only.

Searching for Answers: Tribal Nicknames and Logos
2007-10-24 21:36:00 Being that I am a student at the University of North Dakota (UND), I am very well acquainted with the 'Fighting Sioux' nickname/logo lawsuit. It's kind of a big ordeal here on campus, and other campuses nation-wide too. I just wanted to chime in with my 2cents and see what the readers think about it as well.So most of you probably already know that UND has sued the NCAA to keep the nickname & logo. The lawsuit is just sort of beginning to heat up, although not expected to fully start until December 10th. Just 2 days ago confidential documents in regards to the NCAA's 2006 policy on American Indian nicknames and imagery were decided to remain sealed.This recent happening, though the info given by the media is vague, gives me hope. See, I am in favor of tribal logos and nicknames if used respectfully. I feel like UND has definitely used the nickname respectfully in its tenure. UND has a beautiful logo designed by a respected American Indian artist and we use the nickname with ...

Blogging : Nicknames, Anonymity and Ethics
2007-09-15 09:35:00 I've come across a few online discussions on the wisdom of using your own name for blogging and online comment. Most commentators I've read are opposed to using their name. Mention was made of potential hazards - such as repercussions from relatives, the possibility of losing friends or even being fired if someone takes exception to your opinion or allegiances.Quite a few people use their real name for blog titles, but I would definitely suggest that for random posting of comment on the net you should use a nickname at all times, or at least a first name only. To people who are net savvy this is blatantly obvious, but new or inexperienced users aren’t always aware of potential hazards. These hazards tend to increase when you are perceived to be going out in your own name, especially if the blog operator or commentators on the blog take strong exception to your opinion.Some of the dangers include having your comments edited. This can go all the way from a ‘friendly’ edit, t...

Nicknames Are Waaay Cooler
2007-09-05 02:54:00 I realized today that my blog needs a nickname, some type of shorthand way of referring to this place without having to say "phatcatholic apologetics" every time. It's just too much of a mouthful as far as I'm concerned. Fr. Z just turned his blog title into an acronym (WDTPRS) for easy reference. Thomas Peters calls his blog Amp, which I think is particularly clever. Now it's my turn.Leave a comment on this post and give me your suggestions. I'm going to place a link to this post at the top of my blog as well so that we can get plenty of entries. Once we have a few, then we'll vote on them in the next poll. Personally, I think "phatcap" might be pretty cool. It's a nice little combination of all three words in my title.But anyway, this is your blog too, so let me know what you would like to call it.Pax Christi,phatcatholic

On Nicknames
2007-07-14 20:45:00 One day my father was drunk or otherwise temporarily insane and came up with nicknames for his five boys. They were, from oldest to youngest, Taiger, Taipan, Taiphoon, Taicho, and Memong (I think Memong was born after the glorious renaming).Thank God my father didn't get to name us.You may have noticed that the names of the four older boys all begin with "Tai." I don't know why; they just do. In Chamorro, when someone's last name starts with "Tai," it means "no" or "without." For example, the last name Taitano means "no land." My father, "the champion of indigenous rights," would have been very well aware of that.Therefore it follows that Alex is "No Pan" or maybe "No Bread," Abraham is "No Phoon" or perhaps "Landline Only," and Solomon is "No Cho" or in Japanese "not profitable."What was he trying to say?Oh yeah, I can't think of anything funny for Taiger. I'm accepting nominations.While I've always hated mine, my younger brothers like there nicknames. Alex uses Taipan...

Nicknames…
2007-06-22 01:39:00 I’m reading a book (yes, I can read). It’s a cute little book that talks about Southern women, and why we are like we are… Well, one chapter talks about nicknames. Now, not all men in the South are called Bubba, most are, but not all. We call some Slick, Slim, Jim… mmmm… slim jim… (Stick to the post, Jess)… Anyways, this got me to thinking about the nicknames in my family. Helen aka Booger. She was given this name at a very young age by an uncle of mine. We eventually grew out of calling her that around the time she turned 30, but he still calls her that. Wyndy aka Pooh. Well, this is an obvious one. Winnie The Pooh = Wyndy The Pooh. But I think it came from “Party Pooh-per”… Just sayin’. Jenny aka JennyBug. Ever heard of a june bug? June Bug = JennyBug. Get it? Yeah, me neither. Carl aka Buzzard. When he and Party Pooh-per were dating, he would write her little love letters and always drew a picture at the bot...

Nicknames rule!

In that special issue they talk about some the great nicknames bestowed on select residents of Whistler.I recently heard of this young lady named... I'll just call her "Ashley O" and she has one of the best nicknames in town. I guess young Ashley went a little cock crazy and sucked off a number of pro snowboarders that hang around "The Mile". From what I heard she had no problem taking a load from each one of them, thus earning her the nickname "Bon Appetit".Bravo!

Nicknames
2007-03-18 04:35:00 this nickname came from a fellow I went to college with. I've never been certain whether it was an insult or complement. Knowing this guy, it was probably an insult. I say that because this fellow was one of the most arrogant people you'd ever want to meet, or not meet. As a matter of fact, he was one of my Dean of Pledges. A miserable time was had by all. How did you get your nickname?
