Sum Up

Nicknames. One word descriptors. A catchy phrase that sums up a person. A personal tag line. A tag line you give someone else. Interesting introspection. We were sitting at Sea Salt restaurant “people watching” late last week in Naples when a person in our party began to describe various locals. “Drummer Charlie”, “Bob the complainer“, “Reese Pieces”, “chatty Joy”, Bob the sucker”, the list goes on. Crazy how everyone knew exactly who we were referring to with these descriptors. It’s a great sociology experiment to see what adjectives people use to describe you. What words do your friends use to describe you? Ask them. Don’t guess. You’ll be fascinated by what you hear.

I nicknamed a technician "the Gift" because he is the gift that keeps on giving us bad news.

For softball “The Rak.”
I always argued I never needed a Knickname as my FN serves the purpose. This perhaps explains: http://coreybearak.com/columns/2012-03-23_A_TRIBUTE_TO_COREY_final.pdf
