Your equating a bad joke with a lack of sense of humour is strong evidence in support of my retort.

Actually, it backfired. People with a good sense of humour can tell what's funny or not, and since the joke was not funny, someone with a good sense of humour would not have made it.

[Tuberski]

I forgot to add "Bueller". I always seemed to take days off at work, they stuck me with the name for some reason.

ACK!

[Ben Kenobi]

Bueller?

[hexagonian]

In college, I had a black pair of shoes that I wore everywhere. One of my suitemates said they looked like 'Puerto Rican fence climbers' and started calling me 'chico'.

[Donegeal]

Ad-man by my family.

I'm known as A.C. at work.

And the wife calls me dork.

[Odin]

Selz- derived from by last name.

Selsun Blue/Selsun Power- started when some asked what shampoo I used.

[Boris Godunov]

Many people call me by my last name, so that seems to be my favored nickname.

Other nicknames have been variants on my initials:

M.D.
Doc (as in Medical Doctor, M.D.)
Mad Dog (I kid you not)

The guy who shines my shoes calls me "Professor."

Some people have tried calling me "Marky Mark." That never ends well.

My mom often would call me "Marcus Aurelius."

My most unfortunate nickname was "Fish." This resulted from the extremely dorky fact that I played a Mon Calamari character in a session of the Star Wars RPG. It was a mercifully short-lived nickname.

[Felch]

Sauce was my rugby name. It came from the fact that I was useless on the field - so instead of being like meat and potatoes I was just the sauce on the side.

And my stoner friends call me John the Nerd or just "the Nerd," because not only did I graduate high school but I even went to college for a little bit.

Terrible things happen to people who call me hypocoristic versions of my given name.

Nicknames I've had over the year include GT, Theoretician, Rocco, and El Alemán.

[Mr. Harley]

When I went to our local Catholic HS, I won the only boys academic scholarship. I already had the reputation as being a pure acedemic, but that it was a good idea to leave me alone (someone attacked me in seventh grade and I berserked - it wasn't pretty but since he jumped me in front of dozens of witnesses I didn't get kicked out). I was having no luck with girls due to both those factors, plus some others, so I decided to try out for sports. That year I played football, wrestling, discus, and swimming.

I was around 130 pounds with flat feet. Good at wrestling, decent at discuss and the breast stroke, but not so good at football - too small for the line, too slow for the secondary. However, I am also non-visual. Real problem for memorizing the plays, especially because, since I was definitely a second stringer, I had to play any tackle or guard position at a moment's notice.

So I encoded all the positions, and all the plays, in a alpha-numeric code. Thus I knew who I was supposed to block for any play and all four positions. So going out to the game I had my little cheat sheet out, and was double checking my plays. The coach saw me with all these number codes, and accused me of worrying about academics instead of the game.

I then explained my coding system to him. He gave me this blank look. The assistant coach came up, who actually taught a maths course (economics). When he had heard my explanation (and I suspect saw the utterly blank look on the head coach's face) he cracked up. I was nicknamed "Bomar", as in the Bomar Brain, one of the first caluclators that he had bought in college and was still showing off. Google it.

I spent the rest of that year getting rid of the damn nickname. Now my wife calls me her "bear". I will not explain that one except to comment I am a bit hirsuite.

[DeathByTheSword]

well i had several...first of all the shorting of my already short name from
Ivo to Iv....my family still uses that...i mean it is only 3 letters and still they have to take one off

then after that when i had a skaters period i was always wearing red baggy pants and blue t-shirts so i was called 'clown'

then after that because i did some serious training and sporting and stuff i came a little buff...and one of my best friends back then (who now adays turns out to be gay) made a joke by calling me 'hunk' it stuck and even teachers used it...kinda funny

after that because one of my friends was getting sick of hunk or jealous or what ever...made a joke that although i had muscles i have a very short penis....so new nickname 'shorty'

i was also know to people do didnt know my name as 'the guy with the long leather coat' because in the winter i wore a long black leather coat...2 years ago this changed to 'the guy wearing the pilot jacket'

now adays i dont have a nickname but because i didnt do anything the last year (and i mean anything) my friends have a new verb. ivoën which means not doing anything...but this when out of fashion after i got a job and earning more money then any of my friends


that is about it...

I always feel jealous when I her such stories. I had people who continued to attack me after getting thrown down stars, kicked till they couldn't walk without help, or had their head repeatedly bashed into metal lockers.

[Brundlefly]

I was given the name "Animal" in college because I banged two girls consecutively at a party one night and they started fighting each other about it afterwards....
