What you call your friends behind their backs
Buah ha ha! I am talking about nicknames! Nice ones!
So, according to Steven, I have “a million friends” and, yes, some have the same name, so I have given a few of them nicknames when I am telling him a story* so he knows who is who.
The nicknames are pretty silly. Rachel is “Rachel whose cat lays on its back,” because I quite often share Rachel’s pictures of her cat Leo, with Steven, because Leo is so darn funny!
Remember when I chased down a runner and forced her to be my friend? Her name is Jen, and she introduced me to her neighbor, also Jen. So, Jen1 and Jen2.
Running Kellometers Kelly is “Kelly who likes Thai Peanut Primal Strips.” (Now she can be “Patsy’s mom“!!!)
Anne is “That chick I share Henry with.” Just kidding. I don’t share Henry.
Ha ha, nah, I don’t have a nickname for Anne. But I do have a few more silly nicknames like this! I mean, with my blogger friends, running club friends, people from my studio and day job, and family… yeah, that is a lot of people! I am so damn popular (toads** kidding, guys).
Do you have silly nicknames for friends that you use so someone can identify who you are talking about?
*or when a picture pops up on the photo frame and he is not sure who it is, or when I say, “I am doing a race with so and so!”
**Tots*** became toads this weekend.
***Tots = totes.

Fake Meat Kim and Massage Kim! hahaha….gotta keep the bf straight!
LOL! That is hilarious! I bet Steven likes that you think of me as Fake Meats Kim!
Oh, you said my name! I can toads read this post. But…. I don’t have a nickname? That’s weird, because Henry has tons of nick names for me.
Bob will forever know you as “Kim who dared to bring vegan sausage to a sausage fest.”
I do generally use nicknames for people, because Bob SUCKS at remembering names (he admits this too). Seriously, I can’t even remember the last time he actually addressed me as Anne, because he may have forgotten my name.
Ha ha ha. Bob likes that I am a rebel… maybe?!
So… share the nicknames!!!
awwww my Leo is so famous. At least his belly is anyway.
I call you “that crazy girl I met on the internet” hahaha!
Who doesn’t call Kim that? 🙂
I have nickname for most of my nurse friends back in NC and several nursing school friends. In the stressful hospital environment any way to bring laughter to the day we do 😉 I even nicknamed a reoccurring event called the Chelsie & Kelly Special. Long story short its a patient who codes within the first hour of our 12 hour shift who was previously alert & oriented. It happened so many times in several weeks I had to name it, to release the stress 😉
My family also has nicknames. We are the Spoon Family, Mama & Papa Spoon, Jake was our baby spoon when he was born, now he is Bubby. Cara & Martin are Baby Girl & Chunk 😉 Nicknames have always been in my world. My mother has called me Kelsey since I can remember. Apparently my dad did not agree with the name so they chose Kelly. I wish he would have agreed with Kelsey 😉
Ok….I’m sure that is much longer post than I intended 😉
I like your long post and getting to know more about you!
Tell me, how did the Spoon name come about, Kelsey?! 🙂 (lol)
😉
Before we had kids I called Brian my Spoon b/c my favorite place is spooning in his embrace, sorry if TMI 😉
I found a lady in the UK that paints wooden spoon families 😉 she will personalize them according to your family 😉
Ha! Never TMI in these parts… I am an oversharer by nature! 🙂
Did you order some?!
Jason apparently only remembers some people by their hair color or if I remind me of another event I went to with them. So, no funny nicknames but I usually have to remind him HOW I know someone!
I do notice I tend to say, “my running friend, Katy” for example vs. just ‘Katy.’ Although 99% of my friends locally are runners, so that makes it a moot point, LOL.
HAHA this cracks me up. Because I’m so popular it’s hard for max to keep track of my friends here 😉
Erin is Loop Looks, and if I ever refer to her by Erin, he literally will say ‘who is that?”
You are suburb kim 🙂 because I have another friend here names Kim but we call her nurse Kim 🙂
Suburb Kim! Ha! That name will probably always work for me!
Lol, that is hilarious- I call you “Kim from Chicago Kim” and Gina is “Gina that moved from New York to Texas”… nothing like short and simple huh?!?!
And, I must say, Leo is SO cute!! Murphy says he feels better about being a “bigger cat” knowing that Leo is out there flaunting his cuteness all over the internet!
=^..^=
LOL! Mine are long too. But if that is what helps him remember… 🙂
Aww, I am happy Leo made Murphy feel better! LOL!
I have nicknames for certain friends and others not at all. It is funny that people who I met via blogging get me confused sometimes in real life. I love that you have a million friends.
Because I know other Kim’s, Troy refers to you as Crazy-Work-out-Kim. Like he should talk 🙂
Your Friend,
Jen2
PS- another friend calls me JenJen which is kind of along the same lines.
HA HA HA! Right? Like he should talk!!!
I like that you are embracing Jen2. LOL!
I totally give Robert nicknames for friends. You’re “Kim the other cat lady and the woman sitting next to me at breatkfast.”
Please never change that name for me 😉
I have to refer to my blogger buddies by their blog title to my wife not their name. Not as funny as everyone else here!
I am HORRIBLE with names, I may have to refer to most of you as running lady with the cat
I use nicknames to describe my friends too. Especially since I have 4 friends named Amanda, I have to use nicknames to differentiate.
Thanks for the shout out! I do love those Thai Peanut strips! Chris loved his birthday present by the way. Many of those jerky packets were eaten while at the hospital (I brought his birthday present with since we celebrated his birthday when I was still at the hospital). I think he got the best birthday present ever though, a little baby girl. 🙂
Aww, I am happy he liked it. Although, I do think the other gift is better, lol!
I just have addendums for all my Kims 🙂 It’s Kim *your last name*, preggo Kim, and redheaded Kim haha!
And the kids came up with these…not me…
I used to work with another Kelly. Other Kelly, to be exact. And she called herself that, too.
Kelly W. and I introduced each other as “Ironman Kelly” and “Pregnant Kelly” earlier this summer. Now I guess she’s “Mommy Kelly.”
Adam is actually pretty good when it comes to my friends’ names! He knows and recognizes both you and Erin by name – no nicknames necessary! I do have friends who are identical twins, though, and Adam has trouble telling them apart. So I’ve had to come up with some obscure ways for him to be able to do so, e.g. “The one with perfect teeth!”
Woo hoo! I am happy he remembers me! 🙂 Ha ha ha. Now I want to see a pic of the one with perfect teeth!
My long time nickname that I’ve been known by since I was a child is ChillyWilly (the cartoon penguin).
A company I worked for in the mid to late 90’s, we all had nicknames based on how we looked, how we acted, etc. Mine was Spewbacca, which was related to how much I drank and threw up (I mixed my drinks a lot back then, going from rum to vodka to tequila to gin to…) I don’t live up to that name anymore, even though those I am still friends with that I used to work with, will call me that every so often.
