well....this pretty much assures that he’ll be reminded of it for his entire life. It’s like a guy that hates a nickname and let’s everyone know how much he hates it...will end up being called that name for eternity...

True. I once heard Clinton say that the nickname he hated the worst was Slick Willie. From that moment on, I have only referred to him as Slick Willie, or Slick. I’d call him that to his face.

Think of “Hanoi Jane.” She told the British press several years ago that she loathes the nickname but she’s stuck with it!

Remember William Golding's Lord of the Flies: "Piggy" made the mistake of telling the other boys the nickname that he hated?
