Growing up, everyone had a nickname, didn't they? Everyone in my family had a nickname, to this day, I might use one now and again, especially when we are all together.
Longneck is so tame, I cannot believe he would complain! I would take it and smile. Bernie the Woman! She just had to ask!!! Why??????
Of course, it is very unprofessional. Does he really know you??
He does know me indeed. He just hates not being the joker. He is practically the office clown at times. Which is why I love teasing the twit. The things he has called other people are ridiculous!
I didn't have a nickname till I was in my twenties! I think I was one of the very few not to. I think it means I like my nickname all the more though! :O)
