    The folks I used to work with at the University of Iowa called me K-Phed for awhile. It was short for K-Phederine - A little something to pick you up.

    Up until I was in my early 30's people around me always found some derogatory nickname to call me. Being called by my give name was so rare it took me by surprise.
    For the last 20+ years, no effing nicknames. I like it that way.

    In the USAF I was called Twinkie for my fat body with skinny arms and legs sticking out. When I puked my way down to 155 pounds they had to come up with something else.

    I always hated the name Mandy, which is the shortened version of my name, Amanda. So one of my friends decided she was going to call me Manders instead, which I also hated so another friend shortened it to Ders. I can deal with Ders mostly because it's an actual shortening of my name (seriously, Mandy is one letter away.... Not really shortening anything...) and because there's a character on Workaholics named Ders. So it all works out!

    Boner,

    How close do we have to be before I can call you Boner? Because that's an awesome name.

    One boss coined the nickname "red" because of my hair, and it stuck with me.

    Tressa, Truesella (mainly because my boss will call you anything she can think of including hey you), t-ma, mama T, Tress Bess, Bill, Ziggster, Ziggy, Zig, B!tch (happens in the collections world), ginger, soul stealer...I think that's all.

    Foamy.

    I wore a Foamy the Squirrel shirt to school one day my Freshman year. It was the day I met all of my friends. They couldn't remember my name, so Foamy just stuck.

    No nickname... [other than the 'normal' derogatory ones :mad: ]. I guess I've always taken life too serious. :huh:

    I was called Aquaman in school (11-16) and college (16-19).

    I don't really have any nicknames these days :D

    George, given to me by my oldest sister in an attempt to get me to talk around her friends. Some of them still refer to me and call me by that name.
    Some variations of my last name, Bucky, Rubber Becky (an evolution from when my sister still couldn't say Rebecca), Betty (first by my niece because she couldn't say the hard "K" sound, then My sister because she thought it was funny, now my bf's god daughter for the same reason as my niece).
    Queen B (I was the oldest member of my cross country team my senior year, the girls insisted)

    I've got quite a few, but the one I hate the most is Little Bit. I don't think it's nearly intimidating enough for me.

    Co-workers used to call me Bartender, because they'd all come sit at my desk and tell me their troubles. No, we didn't work in a bar!

    A few of my co-workers call me Pants. Abbreviated version of the original nickname, but pretty amusing to hear someone yell "Pants!" when I show up somewhere...

    A spin off of the MFP nicknames thread, what do your friends call you?
    Enemies around my neighborhood call me tits.

    Bikers call me reemer.

    Friends call me B*ch.

    Typically they call my by my name. xD But my childhood nickname was Sissi and some call me that to this day.

    ETA: Mom calls my crow sometimes, cus I like shiny things and get distracted by them easily. o3o
