Interesting facts about nicknames

? This is the story of my two elders.

? People probably have nicknames (nicknames), which are convenient for family members to call them. Especially when we were young, our elders and friends all called us by their nicknames, and rarely by their scientific names (big names).

? One of my uncles is the eighth and last boy in the family. I don’t know which elder gave him a baby. Nickname - Bastard. Maybe it's because of pampering and taking the idea of ​​longevity.

One year when this eighth uncle was in elementary school, his mother went to school to look for him because he did not come home from school. At that time, school management was not strict and parents could enter and exit the school and classrooms at will.

His mother arrived at the door of the classroom and called out his scientific name "XXX". She heard a crisp response: "Hey!" Then a figure flashed behind the classroom, and there was someone. Squat down behind the desk. The mother bent down and saw that it was not her son. His mother called out his scientific name again, and there was another reply, and then there was a flash of a figure, and at first glance, it was not him again. After saying this several times, his mother understood that the children were joking with her.

? The mother smiled and said to herself, this time I call my son by his nickname, let’s see who will agree? "You bastard." As soon as the voice came out, there was no more agreement, and I saw my eighth uncle walking out with a smile. His mother nodded his head lovingly and said, "You kid, you are going to team up with your classmates to tease your mother." Uncle Eighth smiled "hehe."

? And my other uncle, who was born in the year of the Ox, was given a nickname by his elders when he was born - Clown. This clown uncle is not ugly at all, on the contrary, he is very beautiful.

? One time his mother took him and his sister out. She wanted to buy something and said, "You clown, look after your sister and don't run around." He said, "This child is so handsome, how can he be called ugly? It's the younger sister who is ugly." The mother hurriedly explained.

? The nickname is interesting, right? My bastard uncle, everyone knows that "bastard" is not a good word, but when used on bastard uncle, it does not mean any abuse or blasphemy. It's as if the word "bastard" is a special word for him, but it becomes a slang when applied to others. There is also Uncle Chou, who was not named because of his ugly appearance. He was named because of the year of his birth, when he was born as a rat or an ox. After I figured it out, not only was he not ugly, but he found it quite meaningful.
