Hey, if you were the "token asian college kid" not invited to a FPS bash, you'd be too.

Gramps said:Okay guys. Wednesday night was just something I pulled out of nowhere. I was only making a joke that was obviously taken seriously by a few. No in real life I do not replay battles! No, Mover1 and I do not beat the crap out of each other. Sorry for the confusion. Cheers.
did you see what I did there? GADS, but I'm witty!I was 'saddled' with the nickname "Cowboy"
boots,
Yes and No. While I seem to collect odd nicknames like a dog does fleas (and sometimes, I collect fleas like a dog does fleas), it's not the norm. Troops will have their names shortened or lengthened - "Euwheniuk" would be shortened to something like "Ewey" for instance. "Smith" is always "Smitty". "White" to "Whitey". "Vandenbroekheim" would become "V-15". "Morgan-Smythe" would be shortened to "MS".
If someone does something incredibly stupid (and someone always does) they will pick up a nickname for a week or two to commemerate it.
But no "Eightball", "Joker", "Snake-Eyes", or "Duke".
Usually. Being from the West, having grown up on a farm, and having rodeo'd my entire life, of course I was 'saddled' with the nickname "Cowboy" when I became a Royal. It stuck, and became part of a running gag - hence my screen nickname. My friends started callin me "Injun" or "Half-breed" or "Chuggie" or "Tonto" once they became aware of my metis background.
When I came home to God's Country and became a Patricia, the troops nicknamed me "Iceman" to poke fun at my hair length and resemblance to Val Kilmer. Now, the CO walks by me in the hallway and asks, "How's it going, Iceman?"
Oh, well, could be worse. The troops could insist on calling me by rank. That's never a good sign.
Did I answer your question? I got kinda lost in the explanation. (It happens when you get this old.)
