Ya know just for chits and giggles I googled it and can't for the life of me find that rule anywhere but on your post.

So I'm guessing based on your nickname here on the forum you name is a reflection of your physical attributes? Maybe a gf gave it to you?

Sounded better than NDBF? Needle Richard Bug Fugger.

Don't get mad, just f'ing with you.

RULZ!!?? Rules for nicknames? Wow!
RULZ!!
Are there any more RULZ that I should be aware of? Like Rules of Changing a Tire..Rules of Glove Wearing...Rules of Sissy Bar Use//
Please...spare me.
RULZ!!

Is that anything like "The RULZ of Political Correctness", which I look at as BS.

Oh yeah, this is a topic that is going to start some fights. So here's my swizzle stick in the pot of discontent.

Having a nickname doesn't make you a biker, not having one doesn't mean you aren't one. Course that also assumes that there is some 'requirement' on what makes a biker, so far I haven't seen any sued for violating trademark for calling themselves a biker when they out on their a vespa.

It doesn't matter where nicknames come from. If someone is feeling technical here's the wesbsters definition (note does not include anything about non-self inflicted requirements)

1: a usually descriptive name given instead of or in addition to the one belonging to a person, place, or thing
2: a familiar form of a proper name (as of a person or a city)

Origin of NICKNAME:Middle English nekename additional name, alteration (resulting from misdivision of an ekename) of ekename, from eke eke, also + name name
First Known Use: 15th century

Once my baseball coach asked me what my nick-name was & I said I didn't have one.
He looked at me funny.

BTW...I always have...and always will call my wife Babe or Sweetheart, whether on or off the bikes. She calls me Honey (cuz I'm sweet).
why wouldn't you call her babe or sweetheart weather on or off the bike, the names have nothing to do with bikes or biker names

As a boy I climbed trees, a lot, got tagged with Monkey Boy, shortened to Monkey, then in high school, Monk. When I lived in Arizona ther weren't many trees worth climbing so I climbed rock faces, got tagged with Spider. Now I'm affectionately refered to as Dumb ***, but that's Mr. Dumb *** to those I don't know well.

Don't wanna read it again. Already lost that time. Maybe you need to read your deal again, and consider the whole Mary/Blondie part. Are you the new Nickname Sheriff? My new rule is to break any rule that you make up! You can't call me ******* anymore, now I'm POS!!
