What was your nickname in public school? Mine was Bimbo. Cause I looked

[applegrove]

like wonder woman and spoke with a learning disability. I hated it. Was the start of a long list of people underestimating me based on superficial impressions.

6. It was so hurtful

that I don't care to even think about it any more. Looking back, I can see that it was a form of bullying, even though it wasn't called bullying back then.

My family had nicknames for me. My parents called me "Sis" because I was the oldest of the three. My baby sister couldn't pronounce my first name (which isn't a difficult one) and called me "Deende". My brother and I didn't get along so he avoided calling me anything at all. None of this was particularly hurtful.

7. Grande.

Because I started HS as a 5'11" 195# MLB/TE on the football team and graduated 4 years later as a 6'4" 335# NT/LT. I was a 3-sport athlete; I also played RW on the hockey team and 1B/RF in baseball.

A couple of my FB friends and I from the wayback days still refer to each other with our childhood nicknames every now and then.

[libodem]

[gratuitous]

13. Your excellency

It's a long, boring, but true story and absolutely deserved. Mostly.

[benld74]

14. Guys I ran with in HS called each other by their father's names. Messed teachers up totally!

[graywarrior]

15. Cher

Coz I looked like her. My friend, Mary, was called Sonny coz we were always together. We were also called The Two Galumkies.

[bikebloke]

16. King Motherfucker

The guy that coined it was a minibike terror. Eventually, he had to choose between the army or jail. Came out of the army running around the neighbourhood wearing a superman cape.

17. In college my nickname was Little John.

my first name is John and I am not very tall. There was always someone else in the crowd names John who was inevitably taller than me.

[mokawanis]

18. Spiderman

Because I was tall and skinny and loved climbing walls, trees, buildings, cliffs, etc.

[PRETZEL]

19. same as it is today

which is still my username

[Wait Wut]

20. High School: Lunatic Fringe.

Yeah. It stuck with me into my 20s. To this day, when I hear that song, I get a flashback.

[Curmudgeoness]

21. Parrot beak was my nickname in junior high...

What a shitty time of life! High school I was just ignored. Then in college I was "Kooch". Now I don't think I have a nickname---but if I do, it is said behind my back----probably bitch.

Funny how we evolve through life.

[JitterbugPerfume]

22. I have always been Midge

even my grandchildren call me grandma Midgie

[Archae]

23. Mostly I never have nicknames.

I had too many bad ones during school.

As is, my handle here at DU (and many other places) requires actual intelligence to understand.

[MiddleFingerMom]

24. Count your blessings!!! Looking like WW HAD to have been better'n looking like THIS Bimbo.

25. I think it was "Queer".

From sixth grade through twelfth grade, seven years, I was constantly called "queer" for no particular reason, other than that it was the worst insult they could hurl at anyone.

I was tiny and wore glasses. I cared about nothing other than orchestra and classical music. Those were all cardinal sins; therefore I was called "queer" ALL THE GODDAMN TIME.

What they called me had nothing to do with my sexual orientation; it was merely the worst insult they could think of. I also was called "nigger lover" a few times, in an all white school district.

[RevStPatrick]

26. Well, since my name is Patrick...

...and in high school, I was a big pot head, that easily morphed into Potrick.
I think I was one of the few kids who actually liked his nickname.

[pipi_k]

27. String bean

Because I was tall and very thin

[Moondog]

28. Blue Eyes. Self explanatory.
