Nicknames

Almost everyone has had a nickname at some point. I myself have had my share of nicknames in the past, all of which will not be mentioned. Usually nicknames are not chosen by those to whom they correspond, but are instead given forcefully by others whose close observations of the subjects behavior and appearance have caused their superior minds to come across such a perfect phrase.

Nicknames aren't always the nicest things though. Often they are meant to hurt someone in a psychological way you can't comprehend. A name is a word or set of words by which a person, animal, place, or thing is known, addressed, or referred to and a nick is a small cut or notch. Therefore, I can infer that a nickname is word by which a person is cut. Cuts hurt people and so do nicknames.

The truth is nicknames have been around for a long time. Back then they were used to describe a person's social status. Herod the Great for instance. Also nicknames were given to or chosen by families which we now call last names. You could have the last name Stupid and from this you can infer that your ancestors were dumb or Richardson you can infer that you are Richard's Son or even Stupidrichardson which definitely means that you are the son of stupid Richard.

If your a super hero you usually have a nickname that ends in Man: BatMAN, SuperMAN, SpiderMAN, Wonder WoMAN, DuckMAN, etc. Just having Man at the end of your name makes you so much cooler and also adds to your hit points. If you ever become a super hero make sure your name ends in man.

In the end a nickname can be uplifting like Awesome McAwesome, or just a huge put down like Fuzz Butthead, but carry on reader. Pursue the nickname that truly fits you.
