Yeah, it's not like she's going to call him "Arby." She probably has a pet name for him that she doesn't use in public is all.

I used to go with a girl who called her ex-boyfriend Jeremy "Germy."  This tickled me.

Of course, she had an even less flattering nickname for me after awhile.

Gimpson might, given the title of the thread.

Er. with all due respect, Golfhaus, where are you getting this? "Beef" seems like a perfectly reasonable shortening -- it's not like she's calling him "The Gazonger" or anything else stupidly fratboyish. I've never seen any of the couples I know deviate from a nickname except when it's something really fratesque and dumb.


Really? In my example, the name in question was "Chris," the nickname everyone but the girlfriend called him was "Sanford." Not like we were calling him something stupid.

Maybe it's because Roast Beef isn't so much a nickname as an "alternate" name. I dunno. It still makes me do a double take when I see it.

YMMV.

Have I missed something here? I thought Beef's name was Roast Beef Kazenzakis, no? If so then Beef is his real name. What else is she going to call him!?

Also, everyone I've been involved with since I started using this name (almost three years ago) has called me Slink, though when I formally changed it one girl did decide she wouldn't call me it. She utterly failed to however, as she had always called me Slink. I guess there's no real differentiation between anyone I know, in terms of how they know me.

Also, in terms of the example given, and similar instances, I would think it happens because the new partner came from outside the group of friends who use the nickname, and thus they would have to learn a new name. I am back in touch with someone I was with before I started using this name, and she's finding it really difficult to refer to me as Slink when I'm not around, simply because it's new to her.

Technically his real name is Cassandra, but yeah. it definitely appears in practice that everyone calls him "Roast Beef" as his real name. (This doesn't appear to be that weird for the Underground; see Spongebath, for instance.) "Beef" just seems like a logical shortening of it.

Ah yes. I'm considering drinking tea from now on, as it is supposed to help stop neurotransmittor decay...

They even call him RB in heaven but it's listed in quotes so I guess it's just a nickname.

Ugh. Yea, so true. Oh well, at least I don't have to drink tea all the time then.
