Arianne and Hunter, from yesterday…. yes, I guess there are a few nicknames that denote impressive stature …. but as Arianne thought, I was looking for an example of someone small called “Giant” or “Skyscraper,” the same way big guys are called “Tiny”.
“Refrigerator” Perry (?) is huge…. but were a 5’2" man called “Refrigerator” I don’t think anyone would get that it was a joke about his size.
Is it because some people admire a big man, but it’s considered rude to joke about a small one?
It brings up the question of why people care, anyway, about how tall or short someone is, or prefer one over the other… I never did.
And Night-Gaunt… DavidHG kind of covered for me (again! —thanks David) … people do like nicknames.
But I wasn’t looking to nickname anyone myself…. just noting examples of usage.
