16. "Nose"

I'm of Arab descent, my nose was really big before the rest of me grew into it.

Also, my last name was twisted into various nicknames that included the words "Trouble" and "Bull Shit". (Both applicable, especially at the time. ;) )

29. Mine was Bimbo

Edited on Fri Jul-29-05 01:34 PM by khashka

From a song I used to play over and over on my little record player when I was a kid. "Bimbo, bimbo, where ya gonna go eo?"

As is probably evident, it scarred me for life and was strangely prophetic :)

As an adult, my ex-wife and I were Catty & Snide. Also fairly accurate nicknames.

Khash.

51. Beans. I hated it. My dad called me it

all the time. Because I really liked grean beans when I was little. He *still* calls me that.

This guy my mom was with for a few years called me Pooter. Because everytime he had gas he would blaim it on me and I would get so angry, and he just thought it was hilarious. Everytime he called me that I would get angry and/or cry. He loved it.

My baby brother called me Neenee and I called him C-in-say. We still call eachother by those today :).
