My sister and I were talking about people we used to know in college, whose real names we never knew. Some examples: "Peach Tobacco Man" (phwooar) "Nice Ankles" "Guppy" (looked like a fish) "Rollerblader" "Mushroom" "That Mature Student Tw@t" "Stripy" "Piggy Pencil Case" "Clay Pigeon Shooter"After an encounter with the bathroom mirror in full sunlight this morning, I have decided that people probably quite frequently refer to me as: "Unfortunate Nostril Hair Woman". What would someone call you if they didn't know your name? IP: Logged |

I'd hate to imagine, considering what people call me in person.Tornado would be apt. Blue Moon may have been on the ball with Eejit. IP: Logged |

At the moment, my partner is calling me 'man-girl' while I'm preparing my chin for lazer work.I like 'Eijit' though. My Grandfather used to call people that a lot (but that was their surname ) IP: Logged |

at college I got called "the black country b!tch". Their geography is a bit out but I suspect the other part is still used to this day behind my narrow back. IP: Logged |

haha great question. love the nostril hair one. Fortunately, or maybe unfortunately, working in the alcohol industry, I get to hear what people say behind my back, because drunk people have no concept of whispering. Mostly, it's "The Little B*tch" I can live with that.IP: Logged |

This actually kind of stumped me. For those with little to go on, I think it might be, "Tapper," or something like that. I am known to tap and drum on things. I could also be, "Possibly married, but never talks about his wife," guy. For some reason some women don't think about which hand the ring is on, so my wearing of a ring that could be mistaken for a wedding band on the wrong hand often triggers questions about whether I'm married or not. People who do know me a little might call me, "The Astrology Guy," or something. I don't keep my astrological fascination under strict lock and key. I don't mind being seen as a little eccentric.

Here in California, I expect I'm referred to as "Tex" or "redneck girl" (mainly for my accent, though there are a few times I dress the part, too). If I were to move back to Texas, I'd probably be referred to as that "Californian girl." A baffling thing I was told by a young girl I've babysat, etc, told me her mom told someone else that I was like "Lizzie." Having seen the show Lizzy McGuire, I can't imagine why I'd be compared to her, not even back when I was a child (and I've only enjoyed the movie, not the show, at least what little I've seen of it). HOPEFULLY it's because I can often be cheerful despite setbacks, and NOT because she thinks I have a cartoon alter-ego out to get me, was actually referring to Lizzie Borden, or had actually said "Lesbie/Lesbian."

when i was at school in my teenage years, it used to be "the greek" because of my marked profile. Now my friends call me "l'anglais" after 5 years in london. Those who dont like me probably call me "fag" since i moved back to the countryside where me and all the narrow-minded french people living on this earth grew up. It doesnt show but not married AND single at my age is strange around here. IP: Logged |

I always just get "weird." Which I find... weird. This is a fun question. I'll have to think on it and see if I can come up with something better. IP: Logged |

Unfortunately, it would probably be something to do with my chest, which is a bit out of proportion to the rest of me. When I was in school, I heard so many sickening nick names and comments to do with my chest, it made me feel sick to my stomache, and I wore big bulky sweatshirts all the time to cover them up. Now, it might be yummy mommy or something like that...I hope IP: Logged |
