nicknames
.nom munchy, munchie, munchkin
that's what they called me growing up
it was always munchie, munchie, munchie

started with my older brother, when i was born he couldn't say my name right, he called me munchie, and everyone followed suit
i called him hi
it was always "hi hi"
and he'd reply "hi munchie"

and of course there was mimi
they called me that in church

i preferred mimi over munchie
but mimi died out, munchie survived

wasn't till i was a teen they stopped calling me that, upon my insistance...
"munchie makes me sound like i eat a lot, always munching,...i don't like that,...and besides, mun and mon don't even rhyme"

my grandma still calls me munchie
i like that fact

and my friend jen
haven't talked with her in a long time,
but she knew me when i was still munchie
so she still calls me munchie when we talk,
and i don't mind, 'cause she's jen


my uncle jack calls me woodstock

my oldest_sister calls me monaghan

my mom calls me her curious_monkey, and
saint helen (after mount st. helen's)


then there were the others
like wide eyes, and cry baby
i never liked those ones much

epitome of incomprehensibility Dictionaries: "baby" = human infant (but there are none in close proximity)

Songs: "baby" = romantic partner (but calling mine that would feel weird)

So, me: "baby" = dog

Also, from the name Shiloh I have derived Lolo, accented LO-lo, and Lololo, accented lo-LO-lo.
