This is just my opinion and will probably get blasted for it, but why do people feel they need nickname for everyone. I remember Hawk Harrelson in the early 80s broadcasted White Sox games. He had a nickname for virtually EVERYONE. It was so overkill that it really irritated me. Nicknames are good when they fit. I feel nicknames are earned and most everyone on a team should not have one unless they are given by the TEAM, not necessarily by the fans with few exceptions.
A nickname should be earned over a duration of time and repeated performance. Sometimes they are awesome like Sweetness, Samurai Mike, and UltraBack (Raymond Harris). Sometimes they are given due to repeated poor performance like Turnstile (J'Marcus. Webb).
IMO, don't be in a rush to deal out nicknames. Call me old school, since I am, but I'm sure some will call me more derogatory names. But, hey, that's my two cents.
You are now nicknamed pissparade.
