This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

That's exactly how someone would get called Big Tuna. It's like a huge guy named ~~Tony~~ Tiny

I don't think I've ever heard of an ironic nickname applied to something that someone is totally neutral about. Maybe if they make a big deal about hating tuna? But that wasn't what I described

Or maybe they used to work for a cat food cannery idk how some nicknames happen

Well then all your coworkers do, to, so they're probably not gonna call you that, and it would be unusual between spouses and other friends but I guess not impossible? That's kinda the thing about nicknames, you don't really have much control over it, it's really subject to the whims of other people

In fact, getting a nickname at all is never a sure thing, just like being one of the girls or the guys
