Ok so I'm sure everyone has at least one nickname. Well I have about a million: Punk, Ebo, El Bodin, Besa, Bodin, Lizzie Lou, Sugar, Ebodin, Liz, Lizzie, Laz, Little Betsy, Tin Lizzie, Middle Bodin, Hey You, Christina(people get me and my sister confused), the twins cousin, Michael Bodin's sister, Christina's sister, Flirt, Po-tater, 4 eyes, Miss Gulf Coast(my teacher called me that, I never was Miss Gulf Coast), etc... I have an easy name to shorten and everyone likes to invent a new nick name for me. I honestly don't mind most of my nick names I actually like them. But there are some that just make me mad because I have a name and it's not Michael Bodin's sister or Christina's sister. I don't mind if people say that the first time they meet me but after that they should call me by my name or a shortened version, ya know. Most people think because my nick name is Punk that I dress all punk rock and stuff, but it has nothing to do with that. It all started not long after I started my job at Hightower. I called Kelly a "punk" for some reason, who knows why, and she said "I'm not the punk you are" and BAM now everyone calls me Punk. I doubt anyone at work actually calls me by my real name anymore, but we do have 2 Elizabeth's up here so it makes it easier to tell who they are talking about.
One of my favorite teachers in High School Coach Curley had a ton of nick names for me. I had known him for years before he was my teacher. He invented nick names for everyone in his classes. So he called me Tin Lizzie, 4 eyes, Miss Gulf Coast, and many more I'm sure. I didn't mind most of them but I didn't like 4 eyes too much. I didn't understand Tin Lizzie at first but I googled it one day and found out it was in reference to the Ford Model T, it was an automobile that was produced by Henry Ford's Ford Motor Company from 1908 through 1927. "Lizzie" was a contemporary slang word used to describe a reliable servant. Which for all of you I am not a servant but I am reliable. ;) He also called me Miss Gulf Coast because I was born in Biloxi, MS, which is on the MS Gulf Coast, and my whole extended family lives down there. We moved to Central MS when I was in the 4th grade.
I could go on and on about how I received all my nicknames but I will spare you. Have a great day all!
