Re: What are some nicknames that are a stretch?
in reply to a message by MasterCiaraXo
Here in South Africa, there is a very good classical music radio station which often features the work of a distinguished choir-master who is universally loved and admired; people also, quietly, sympathise with him because his fn is indeed Richard (and nothing else, no nn at all) and his ln is Cock. This is a genuine case of "What were the parents thinking?", though presumably they just weren't familiar with that kind of slang.
