A nickname is a descriptive name given in place of or in addition to the official name of a person.

We love to use nicknames. So we decided to list all the ones we like best and use most, so if you ever get confused, please consult this handy list. We didn't come up with all of these. Most are PBS (PensBlogSlang), some were coined by our pals, and some we came up with ourselves.
