  I don’t think I’ve ever heard of an ironic nickname applied to something that someone is totally neutral about. Maybe if they make a big deal about hating tuna? But that wasn’t what I described

      Well then all your coworkers do, to, so they’re probably not gonna call you that, and it would be unusual between spouses and other friends but I guess not impossible? That’s kinda the thing about nicknames, you don’t really have much control over it, it’s really subject to the whims of other people

      In fact, getting a nickname at all is never a sure thing, just like being one of the girls or the guys
