My husband and I had an acquaintance who couldn’t remember my name if his life depended on it. He’d call me “Leigh’swife”…all one word, like that. I wasn’t offended. I just chalked it up as another nickname. Besides, what can you expect from a guy who talked EXACTLY like Jar Jar Binks?
many of the other characters just have nicknames too. ‘clumsy carp’ who likes to watch fish and is very clusmy; ‘Grog’ because of the sound he makes; ‘Curls’ because of his hair, ‘eatanter’……
(My wife maintains I use the word “friend” as a replacement for b*st*rd when I speak to drivers under my breath right after they ran the red light in front of me and I say._ “Friend, you could have killed me driving like that.”_)

That might be too modern, Now most men call women by names except when with with the guys when we utilize nicknames

My all time favorite is Cute Chick asking “why hit the ball at all?”

I seldom laugh — usually grin, chuckle, quiet snort, twisted smile.

Al, I think you’re mixing two different thoughts. Your skin can do a lot of things, but I don’t think rankle is one of them.

Friend, you just don’t like having friends.
