Butthead Brett

In high school, a senior gave me as a freshman the nickname Tweety Bird. I was small, thin, and blond. Very funny. I hated it.

In college, a good friend had an unwelcome nickname. Some still use it, and may be well served reading a book on emotional intelligence.

Today, plenty of friends are known only by their last name. Collins. Womack. Using the first name sounds so strange, though the rose may smell as sweet.

I call my wife Baby. Nobody puts baby in the corner.

What's the easiest way to figure out the movie that mentions nicknames, something like, "Nobody gives himself a nickname." Google has not been my friend.

Thanks Matt:

My guess is Young Guns II. I think the guy from Ferris Bueller wanted a
nickname and Arkansas Dave Rudabagh wouldn't give him one.

Also in the Italian Job, Seth Green was complaining about Handsome Rob
having a nickname.
