[QUOTE="Jabberwockey, post: 665028, member: 18238"] I have an aunt who's legal name is Maxine but everyone calls her Tootse. To this day I have no idea why. Its not a nickname, but there was an offender at one point who's legal name (yes, given by his birth parents!) was Turbo Mydgette. I got called into the inmate canteen where I was assigned by one of the storekeepers to verify this name. We agree on the pronunciation and he called Turbo Midget (pronounced as this) to his window. A very tall, very slender light skinned young African American offender walked in and in a VERY snooty manner said "Its not Midget, its Mygzhe!" (Lil might be able to type/pronounce this better than me) The store keeper looks him up and down, then announces "You aint French mother effer!, Its Midget!" And don't get me started on the prison nicknames! I knew 99 for two years before ever finding out his real name. Although I did just get some sad news last week. Brain Dead is dead. He may have been a felon but he was good people. [/QUOTE]
