RE: Top 6 Nicknames for Yours Truly (Notes from Under the Tatami Mats–80 … My Adventures in Japan)
These nicknames are rather interesting. I love #1 and #5 but can't understand how #6 came about. Your sense of humour is also amazing, as reflected in the excerpt below:
It never caught on with any of our colleagues or students, but Kazuko continued to call me that … as I continued to grow older and continued to become more and more of an “oyaji.”
At the same time, I remained ever-youthful James.
Obviously Kazuko did not succeed. LOL
Good point. I never understood #6 either. Fortunately, it faded away as the social group that called me shifted. Now, the only one that remembers that is me.
And I hope it gets lost in the ever-flowing Streem.
