Yes, my dad calls me a "sheep" in punjabi, I don't know where it came from...I have an awful memory of me walking out into the car park after school my dad shouting it out because I wasn't paying attention to where he was parked. :ashamed2:

My friend calls me pigeon, I don't know where that came from either...


Lol wow. Sheep? That's ****ing awful. Does he herd you around all day or are typically herded by others? Or do you have a lot of wool to spare? :lol:

No indeed I am not herded around by others, I lead myself! :proud: I don't know where it came from , perhaps because I had curly hair when I was little :dontknow: all I know is it has been used in some of the most awkward times. If your wondering what it actually sounds like it is "Padoo"....yes and I also didn't know what it meant for a very long time....

Aww Padoo sounds much cuter though than "sheep". Especially if you elongate the doo bit a little XD

That's still hilarious though that your dad was calling you a sheep unbeknownst to you for so long.

I have had dozens of nicknames. Most recently my ex-gf nicknamed me Wolfy - if i had a beard - and then puppy if I shaved it off.

How did you jump to the conclusion that a child was involved? Have we maybe scraped off a layer of your youth here?

Look a man/woman looking at children with lust in their eyes is both a peado and a pervert
(man/woman means 18 or more years ok)

A man/woman who creeps over another man/woman in secret is a pervert

You should probably be speaking to a qualified professional. I'm a little out of my depth here.
I used to be known as DJ years ago in secondary school (they're my last two initials)

Other than that, just Em. But i dislike it when people that im not close to call me it.

Lol normally the "oo" bit is elongated, when he shouts it's even further elongated... I know, but ngl I thought it was a Bull or something at first, I never questioned, I was pleased to hear it was sheep, seems slightly more pleasant.

I think that's really cool actually. What an endearing nickname!

At school, I've got called ''meskiukas'' which basically in English means bear cub. Few colleagues at work call me ''caca'' :teehee: And another woman calls me ''sweetie'' because I had vanilla scent perfume on me and it smelled very nice :colone:
My parents used to call me "Mouse". I used to have mouse brown hair and be quite quiet (oh how things change. I'm now "hothead" or a variation of that because I'm ginger, confident and opinionated).

"Sammy"- but only close friends can get away with this! :colonhash:

Well its the pet form of my first name rather than a nickname really. How come she was called that?
