Nicks

Nicknames! Love them or hate them they are there. Some stick some fade into oblivion like a imploded solar sytem scattering to the solar winds. The reasons for thier existence are varied and many and most, but not all, have a reason behind them. As you all have noticed by now my nick is posted on this website. I hate the nick however it has seemed to stick. Often in ladysmith no one is called by thier first names! A fact that durban people cant understand. They often ask us why do you all have nicks? Well see beloved city peole there are a couple of reasons.Being in a small town everyguy knows every other guy often in our groups there are usually two-four people not only with the same names but surnames!Everyone in the town is somehow related! But this is where it gets difficult say mohammed when you are with your friends and four guys instantly wonder which one! Hence each has thier own unique identiflying nick! Also as close knit groups of friends we tend to nick everyone anyways.Here follows a list of some of my nicks over the years

Pizza Man

Bilal said...

i like this. i have been called some pretty ugly names. here are some of the kosher(lol!) ones:

bill
billy
biloo
halaal (only in Dbn!)

My hypothesis would be- in small towns (like Ladysmith:P), even though there are less people, everyone knows everyone. So to make it easier, everyone gets a unique nick that they can be identified by...
