Do you ever give people nicknames that you only say to yourself?

For example, in my mind, I call our receptionist Potato.

"Oh no, Potato did it again"

    No, I say them all to their face. I'm constantly assigning nicknames to my co-workers.

    Super Trooper gets mad (he's an overzealous security guard).

    Babydumps likes her nickname... thought it was meant to make fun of her for not knowing how to change a diaper.

    Sugar Booger thinks it's funny.

    I hate it when people take their own nicknames... like one guy I work with came in his first day and told everyone to call him Duke. We called him Dookie.

    no! giving yous r self a nickname is like telling a individual you're wonderful (which you're probally no longer) until you're on survivor(t.v. instruct) then dont supply youself a nickname.

    Yeah, like my math and science teachers are married, and I always ask myself: don't they make a beautiful, EVIL couple?
