What is the most mortifying nickname you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve ever been given? Nicknames given by yourself don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t count. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>As a fat kid growing up, I got called &#8216;Stolardass&#8217; &#8211; a play on my last name &#8211; and that was not cool at all.

Favorite exclamation (e.g. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153egads!\u00e2\u20ac\u009d \u00e2\u20ac\u0153holy jesus fuck truck!\u00e2\u20ac\u009d \u00e2\u20ac\u0153great googly moogly\u00e2\u20ac\u009d)? <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Giant Dancing Christ!<strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>7.
