It is often the case that when guys speak of girls (and I suppose I know the converse is true, when girls speak of guys) that names fade and characteristic traits dominate.
Yes I could speak of Jocelyn or Miriam or Pam. But it's easier to talk about "girl" said with a meaningful look on my face or "summer girl" or "new girl" or "freshman girl" (and the obvious sophomore, junior and senior girl). I have even heard my friends, in a bout of creative thought come up with a system. The initial of the girl's name followed by an animal.
Thus such beauties/monstrosities like "crabbit", "rsnake" and "kdog" have been born.
It makes us laugh and it makes it easier to talk about all things "bros" will talk about without attaching a real person to the story.
I know I'm using a lot of quotation marks.
Yes. Guys do talk just like girls do. Yes, there are always details involved.
This I do not mind.
Today however I tried using my brand of nicknames on a girl who also happens to be a friend. Someone real.
It's funny to think some people deserve their real name and some don't. And I thought I didn't judge.
haha I think a "bout of creative thought" is an overstatement... not sure those people deserve that much credit :)
