We've all had 'em.

Mine was Flash. I would like to say it was because I was a fast runner but alas, no. Thankfully it wasn't due to any flashing of the other kind. It was because of this furry guy right here:

While in middle school we were having basketball practice one afternoon. I went in for what I thought was a fabulous lay up. My coach proceeds to tell me that I was moving so slow that I reminded her of Flash from Dukes. It stuck and that's what I was known as from then on to my fellow basketball players all throughout high school. It could have been worse I suppose, one of the other girls was named H.T. (horny toad) and another was Globes(self explanatory). The team had t-shirts made and we wore them proudly while looking like complete idiots.

Really, the only childhood nickname above was Bon Bon. And only used by my family.
Reject was really the only other nickname given to me by my "peers" when I was younger....
