Nicknames

Nicknames can be funny things......and by funny I mean, cool, weird or even just messed-up. Growing up I never really had a nickname that stuck. I tried to give myself a couple "cool" sounding names, but like I said~~~they didn't stick. I guess I actually do have a nickname that I was given when I was a kid and it did sorta stick, but really only a few select people call me by it. What is this name you ask? Frooter! My uncle Merv gave it to me when I was just a youngin', apparently it was based on my excitement over my Froot of the Loom underwear I was rockin' back then. Don't get me wrong I am used to it, and suppose I even like it~~~but have never really announced that it was my nickname......I never did because I always felt it never measured up against other nicknames of people that I know or have known. I know a Killer, a Slim, a Toot, a Tech, a Spuds and even a Munk. I also have known a Drano, a Lego, a Fatty, a couple of Tubbies and a Large and a Chiggy. Knowing all these people have made me wonder where some of them come from......??? I mean there last names and body types have been a strong reason, but sometimes it is a mystery.........I guess as much as I would like to be "sex-machine" or even "monster who-who" LOL.....I am Frooter!!!
