| Cookies!
My reputation is that i'm an ok fencer but i'm crazy wild so my coach puts me in because he knows i wouldn't get scared of some of the vikings out there like some of my teammates   .My nickname is "cookie" for no particular reason except that my coach couldn't pronounce my real name so one of my weird friends proposed "cookie" and he said hey i like that.So they dubbed me crazy weird "cookie"

| I think I'm probably starting to develope a reputation in Ga... but not because of my fencing, but because I'm something of a screwball. The foilist in Ga who go to lots of tournies all seem to at least recognize me now, and I think some of them even like talking to me!

| Hi!
While in a kajak club in my teens, I got the nickname "Motor".
Why? I can roar quite loudly, and a teammate thought that I sounded like an engine revving out of control when I was hollering to get another teammate to do his best during a race - the racing teammate was several hundred meters away from me, and could hear me quite well.
Have a nice time!

| I have a fencing buddy who looks exactly like a male version of me... same height, same hair, same skin tone, etc... It's like we were separated at birth or something. When we are at fencing club, we are Thing 1 and Thing 2. He's Thing 1, I'm Thing 2.

.... Face? that's the only thing I could think of.... (sorry.. not nice... but that's what came into my head)
I was the "the Cruel" and then the "Angry and Vengeful"... and apparently had a reputation for being a bit of a steam engine.
at bmc I am "DEATH". Because I was doing a drill in an odd deep voice (so they would pay attention) one day and someone decided I sounded like Terry Pratchett's character of that name. I believe I have a reputation for being... overexcited about fencing? Not sure. Where's gatet? She would know!

Once upon a time, we had two Joes in the club. The first guy got his named changed to "Bob," the other to "F-ing Joe" (he used "f-ing" to modify every noun and verb in his vocabulary). So, this was F-ing Joe:
"So if we're calling the other guy 'Bob' why do I have to be "F-ing Joe'?" This was Us: "Why don't you shut the **** up and quit your whining, etc...." | |

We had a Jason, and my friend's little brother's band got a new drummer that started hanging around named Jason, so we renamed him Justin just so we wouldn't get the two confused. He actually started to answer to Justin pretty quickly...

| i was nicknamed mr. biggs on the bus in middle school because i have a big head. Now my body grew and my head didn't much, so the name isn't really quite as accurate.
I know I've told this story at least 3 or 4 times already on this forum, I just feel the need to retell it every 6 months or so because otherwise the new people are going to get sketched out. | |

| I don't know what people call me behind my back, but it's probably not nice things. I did have a fencer call me "Taz" because I sound like the Tazmanian Devil when I scream while I'm fencing.
He's a moron.

He's a moron. | I have heard people wonder if you're the fencing version of a Pentacostal speaking in tongues.
Oh and there was this one guy that was like "yeah that Airathanas girl, she's all crazy and like all excited and I think she is an alien here to take over the world..." (now granted- that's cause I told him you were an alien here to take over the world...)

| Called Maximus, but since my coach has a french accent, it comes out as Maximoose, which he thinks is great because I'm really tall. So, yah, I'm Maximoose.

| Back in college, we had a whole team of them:
Let's see there was "Crash" (epee fencer who took jostling to a new level), "Tank" (sabre fencer who only had one move), "The Beast" (also sabre, very appropriate name), "Beet-ells" (epee, who loved the fab 4), "Big Mac Attack" (foil, two all beef patties), "Sid Vicious" (sabre, he was so pretty with no regard), "Eyes" (epee, and heart), "Fever" (foil, as in Saturday Night), and "Mongo" (foil, Candygram for Mongo).
See if you can guess the year????
