an invented name for something,
used humorously or affectionately
instead of the real name,
usually based on a conspicuous characteristic
of the person or thing involved ...
As a previous poem announced, only my aging aunts and uncles can get away with calling me, Ronnie. When I heard that my college roommate, Bob, was referred to by an old friend as "Tinker," I thought little of it until later I learned that it was a nickname for "Little Stinker!" I'm surprised he didn't deck me when I mentioned it.
My refrigerator is a 'fridge', my television is a teevee and my commode is named 'John'. We can shorten anything. LOL You forgot to include yourself, TK. TK is a pretty good nickname. Hugs, babe.
