Tough Talk: October 11, 2024

Tough Talk,

I have a unique Irish name which is fairly long.  Some people change it to a nickname I really hate.  Making matters worse is the name that most people shorten it to the same name of a girl I went to high school with who was a bully and a snot  My sister says to not let it bother me and just accept it, but it really rubs me the wrong way.  Am I wrong for having these feelings and emotions TT? (Grandview, Minnesota)

Bigview,

You have every right to be annoyed and your sister is really obtuse and indifferent to this situation.  (What a dope!) Every time someone uses that nickname, you loudly tell them to blow it out their piehole and that you don’t like it.  It may take a little while, but people will take the hint.  Don’t back down on this. And if they don’t like it, tell them to FO&DD.

Happy Columbus Day Everyone! Have a great weekend!
