During this lifetime, I would say, I got my fair share of nicknames, which sometimes happen to successfully erase my own real name (True story). I never really gave it much thought, until the topic came into the attention a couple of days back. Now, it’s time to reminiscing all those forgotten tales along with the one that stuck.
The first nicknames giving phase started when I got into school. The reason, well it was my family given nickname that ignited the chaos. The moment my fellow classmates knew about that crushed name, it was like hell broke down, the hell of annoying nicknames giving session, each day with a new name to be greeted by the kids, the experience gave birth to the reluctance to utter that name whenever people ask for it. It was a curse that I desperately wanted to leave behind, which is why I don’t use it anymore.
When I got into high-school, shorting name into half had become a trend among teenagers, so one day just out of the blue they started to call me Afsu. It stuck till the end of school life and still now from time to time when people from that phase of life popped up, they use this nickname.
When I got into university, the time of being in one single group somehow came to an end, all credit goes to my two initial extremely extroverted friends and through them, within a few months, the acquaintances and people who considered me as a friend drastically blew up, so was the nickname giving ceremony. I don’t remember many of those but what stuck till the end was Banu and alien. Why they called me Banu well I don’t know, never really asked and about the alien part, well that’s just because I am weird.
Now, let’s get down with the nickname that really really got stuck in the end and somehow ended up carrying on its legacy even in hive. The name was given by none other but Sam, and if you ask me how the hell I accrued this name, well I still don’t know, this dipshit refuses to disclose the reason even after Eight fucking years.
All I remember is, Eight years ago, on a fine afternoon, we both were having some conversation, well mostly she was talking and I was zoning out, which I used to do a lot back then. When I finally got back in reality, she was already stopped talking, instead of words I met with silence, after a pause she looked at my face and said, You are an Egg and I was like Meh, fine. What can go wrong with being an egg?
Huh, if only I knew the curse of being an egg would haunt me till the day I die.
If the nickname only got to stick with Egg well, things would’ve been fine, but noo, they have to add twist into it, only Egg is just too vanilla for them. So what we got here, well, Rotten Egg, Cracked Egg, Smelly Egg, Dumb Egg, Lazy Egg, Dimbo Deem. The list is still going on.
Now, as payback do I give people nicknames? Hell yeah, otherwise life would just become unfair and dull. The most famous one that got stuck is Medusa aka 
Although giving Medusa this nickname backfired, as now when we make fun of each other, she can use cracked eggs gif without any sweat as the internet is filled with those, but I fucking have no gif that screams Cracked Medusa.
Life is just unfair.
