#all I could think of murph as a nickname versus the ball as a nickname

Does anyone else think it’s fascinating how nicknames develop? Like sometimes a nickname is a logical shortening of a name, sometimes it’s a different part of their name, like a last name or a middle name, and sometimes it’s completely random, manifesting out of a series of twisting inside jokes and memories that is impossible to explain and you’re just like, “Oh yeah, that’s our friend, The Ball, don’t mind him.”

#shower thoughts #well it was a shower thought that I kept thinking about #I could not for the life of me think of a random nickname for a real human I know though #so maybe this is just a product of too much media consumption #I personally only have a family nickname that’s my name shortened that most people don’t call me #so maybe that’s why I think nicknames are so interesting #all I could think of murph as a nickname versus the ball as a nickname #this probably also manifesting from rewatching 911 #and being so curious about Chimney and why he’s called that #fantasy high #dimension 20 #d20 #riz gukgak #brian murphy #I do have a friend that does by Morple in a chat but we never call her that and also I don’t really know the story behind it #do people have friends or are the friend with a weird friend group nickname??? #inquiring minds want to know #nicknames #nickname #it’s symbolic of a deep and loving and long-lasting friendship to have a weird random nickname okay? #I secretly want one
