That's not how nicknames work

Yeah -- I sure could have used "parental sign-off" when kids at school started calling me "dinky".

I was boner. It was back in the day of BBS' and my handle was lone wolf. So they started calling me loner... Then one day Bill decided "we should just call you boner". I said " oh please don't". I shouldn't have said that.

In the end it wasn't all that bad. I wasn't particularly good looking but when girls heard that, they would ask why they call me that I would just say "it's a long and very stupid story" it made them even more interested in me. LOL
