[quote=Anonymous]OP, I was at aboarding school in England (in the UK kids can be sent as early as 6 and 3/4, as my BIL was). We used nick names as terms of affection. We had nicknames such as Duck, Captain, Pinky, Wog (not politically correct now but it was used non racially even then -the girl had dark curly hair like the golly wog toy common in those days), Titler, Chimp, to name but a few. Yes, they started because something about the person put someone in mind of the nick name, but they were never used to tease. In fact, 35 years later, we still use most if the nick names, except for "Wog" of course.[/quote]
