West Chester Blogger Giving Out Free Nicknames
It's pretty lame when people make up their own nicknames. Really - it is. If you've read my blog, you''ll know that I have a special gift for making up nicknames on the fly. Take a look at this post about Soul Train where I nick-named all of the dancers. And even though racist You Tube took the video down it's STILL a classic. Seriously - "Backstroke Afromatic"? ...Where DO I come up with this stuff?
In an effort to "Give Something Back" - I'm going to give a nickname to each person that leaves a comment in the comments section of this blog today*. Please also feel free to nickname me in the comments section. Also, please leave any great nicknames that you've heard of in your lifetime.
So there you go. Enjoy your normal, boring name.... for one more day.
*If for some reason, whether religious, fear of taunting or just being a big baby and you DON'T want a nickname - please write, "no nickname please" in comments.

Hey, if you think you can do better than "Jon", have at it.
I have never had a nick name but in school there was a girl nicknamed "Big fat fatty fat fat fat." I think her real name was Barbara.
douche pickle
Anonymous - what do you mean you've never had one? I gave you one last week: "Anonymous: the blogger who believed in miracles." OK you greedy bastard - I'll put you on the list for another one.
Sista #1 would like a new nickname, actually never had one to begin with
This just made my day. I've always wanted a nickname. I think people with nicknames are way cooler than people without. I can't wait to join the other side.
Oooo, oooo, pick me!
Dad called me Squirt. School friends called me "DeC" - pronounced Deek. That somehow turned into K-Bone, which I could do without.
Top that, Zibbs.
Hey Zibbaroni,
I had a neighbor once that I nicknamed "The Principal" because everytime he showed up at my door, I knew I was in trouble.
Sure, why not?
I used to call some girl I knew Zanussi, because she was frigid. Ha ha ha!
I, too, have a knack for nicknames, "They call me Mr. Zibbs". That's why you won't be able to top "Professor Mathdude, Doctor of Awesome". And I've nicknamed Falwless "Flawed" and "Flawful", so good luck topping that one as well.
My adoptive father called me "Queenie" because I like things to be just-so. I loathed it. In fact, it still pisses me off to think about it. Grrrr.
Other nicknames I've had: guenosdias (my favorite and still in use), Gwenno, Gwennie, and Funnel (freshman year of college back when I could drink a lot.)
I think I'd like to call you Zibba Zabba. It's sassy and lends itself well to an assortment of accompanying motions like the finger-gun with a wink.
Oh, I can't resist: St. Jon the Bastard, Mr. What's His Name, Chamber Orchestra Nerd, Philly philly, Mr. Starved for Attention, 7 1/2 Weeks, Sage's Sage, and the Pretender.
Oooo.. I like this game!
I can't remember any fun nicknames at the moment though... I guess that makes me pretty lame. Damn.
I already have a nickname, but I too am known to administer nicknames. They are all basically the person's name with "ie" on the end, but they catch on like wild fire!
My hockey team all has Ho nicknames (BackHo, G.I. Ho, CooliHo, DynaHo, YoHoHo, etc.) I'm CuervHo for my love of tequila!
I'll take a nickname, but only if its demeaning. :)
I'm calling you "Yakmaster Z and the furious five".
I have a nickname, but if I tell you what it is then I'll have to kill you.
Dear Chap Ass (my new loving nickname for you-how do you like it?),
I went back to the Soul Train post and wished so badly I could view those you had nicknamed but perhaps my imagination was enough.
Please nickname away!
My favorite nickname given to me by my parents is Coochie Bear. Often times they shorten it to just Cooch. Nothing like your dad calling you Cooch and your friend asking, "Did your dad just call you Cooch?"
As of today, I will be calling myself Dr Dunkenstein. Or, I could be Maverick and you could be Iceman. Actually, Mike is pretty unique so I could just stick with mike.
You've got a big task ahead of you. My nickname has always just been a shortened version of my real name. My favorite was Salty Sam, I loathe Sambo and Sammy. I need something to work with, sock it to me!
I was always the one to hand out the nicknames in college, which is why my man Will turned into Big Willie Style (so original, I know, that's just how I am) and my priest friend turned into Daddy Sweet Teusch.
I'm hoping for Backstroke Afromatic, but you seem like a guy who runs a tight ship. You wouldn't allow two people with the same nickname. Also, I don't know how to do the backstroke and have no afro to speak of. So, whatever.
Nicknames swirl around me.
My dear college friend - Lazy Jim
My kids - Mony-Bony, Bug, and Schtinky
Me - Grit, aka Grit the Puker (don't ask)
My hubby - Hank
My husband is the master of handing out nicknames: Egidio, Jackson, Skippy, Louise,
Thank GOD...Finally an intelligent human being handing out nicknames! You Rock!!
I've only had a few nick names and I'd rather not repeat them!!
I think you've found your calling. Would look great on a resume, aka: Nickname Namer!
HAPPY TUESDAY!!!!
- Jennifer
Jesus! I give something away for free and it's like rats coming out of the woodwork. Where were you people during my 1st Annual All Clown Weekend? Huh?
I can't tell you my nicknames without possibly giving away my REAL name. I will say, my initials provide a nickname.
Also, I've been called Princess (I guess some people think high heels are too girly), Janvier (I wasn't born in January - not sure where this stems from), and other stuff.
As for you, I like to call you The Good Doctor, Dr. Zibby-Zabby-Zoo, Dr. Zee etc.
Wow, look at all those lurking stalkers that have come out of the shawdows! You have quite the following.
My mother's neighbor was nicknamed digger because he was short and bald with bad eyesight and looked like a mole, and ALSO was a mortician. Um, I already have a nickname, but if you have one better than fatty-four-eyes, have at it.
No one likes clowns. NO ONE.
Blondie is my current nickname but I'd be happy? to hear what you can come up with.
I've had people nickname me my whole life, I was "Hot Lips" in high school, "Motor Mouth" in Junior High and at the risk of dating myself "Mr. Ed" in Grade 1.
My favourite nickname for others is "Ass" or if they are particularly endearing "Fucking Ass". Although the nickname I reserve for you in my private moments is "the Zibbster".
Jeez, doc! With this comment you've hit 33 today! Congrats! You're so popular.
Gwen, believe me - I know. I better put up a few "buffer posts" because just the copying and pasting of links is gonna take forever. I guess being popular DOES require alot of work (and responsibility).
Hey Dr., I hate to keep doing this to you, but I did this in May of '07. And yes, I want a nickname too!
Fuck all these other posers, please give me my nickname first. I will tip you an extra $0.50. You're welcome.
any one you come up with COULDN'T be as bad as the one hubby has for me. no way. (although I've probably earned it, the bastard.)
I'm dying to see what nickname you give me. Please, don't keep me in suspense.
Wow. "Vodka Mom" is a pretty sweet name already. You may not be able to improve on hers.
I like nicknames that are titles, like boxers get. So I dub thee "The Jester From West Chester".
