Nicknames serve two purposes: a mockery or a term of endearment. Even if the purpose is the later, you can still hate the nickname.
I bring this up because I have received a new nickname at my job. One of my coworkers had started to call me "Sparkles." He says that it fits my personality. Personally, I think he's a jerk.
A few days ago, a different coworker called me a "troll." Of course, he was referring to the term internet troll. However, my other coworkers, who are not so internet-savvy, took that as the monster troll. They thought it was befitting.
One genius decided to take the nickname Sparkles and combine it with troll. So now, I am Sparkles the Troll. Oh goody.
I am sure everyone was given a nickname they hated. What was yours? And what's the story behind it?
