Angel's Weirdest Nicknames

This is a countdown of the weirdest nicknames I've ever had.

10  Xu Xu

         

Surname of 徐 in Japanese as omomuro, Sino-Japanese as Jo. Korean pronunciation, using the Yale romanization system as Se. Chinese of Xú immigrants of this last name Chinese: 徐 emigrated to Korean translated the surname to 서 Hangul also write as Seo. Korean 서 translated to Japanese word was で Romaji. However Chinese surname change to another languages, the writing and pronunciation also changed. Vietnamese word từ translated for 徐. To little kids, they don't "re-name" you after what you like to do or who you look like. They would call you the funniest thing they can think of and it'll follow you till they mentally grow up. In my case, if you say my surname twice, it'll sound like "she she" as in pee.

9  Angle


         

The word angle comes from the Latin word angulus, meaning "a corner". The word angulus is a diminutive, of which the primitive form, angus, does not  occur in Latin.Cognate words are the Greek ἀγκύλος (ankylοs), meaning  "crooked, curved," and the English word "ankle". Both are connected with the Proto-Indo-European root *ank-, meaning "to bend" or "bow".

Everywhere, even places where people can see my name.
            
Idiots and people who just want to annoy me.
               
My name is Angel but it is commonly spelled wrong by people into "angle".






8  Chee Chee

          

"Chee" is the pronunciation of the word "痴" in "白痴"(Bai Chi) in Cantonese. Bai Chi means idiot. An idiot, dolt, or dullard is a mentally deficient person, or someone who acts in a self-defeating or significantly counterproductive way. Archaically the word mome has also been used. The similar terms moron, imbecile, and cretin have all gained specialized meanings in modern times. An idiot is said to be idiotic, and to suffer from idiocy. A dunce is an idiot who is specifically incapable of learning. An idiot differs from a fool (who is unwise) and an ignoramus (who is uneducated/an ignorant), neither of which refers to someone with low intelligence.

7  Kasura LaLa


        

Kasura LaLa was a made up name for an essay which was about a made up fantasy with my friends. It was meaning less at first. What I didn't know was Kasura had a meaning. Katsura (tree), a genus of two species of trees native to eastern Asia. As for "LaLa", it was put there randomly after my nickname "Lala Mui".

6  Neko-chan

         

Neko is the Japanese word for cat (猫). Chan (ちゃん?) is a diminutive suffix; it expresses that the speaker finds a person endearing. In general, chan is used, but is not limited to, babies, young children, grandparents and teenagers. It may also be used towards cute animals, lovers, close friends, any youthful woman, or between friends. Using chan with a superior's name is considered to be condescending and rude.

Although traditionally honorifics are not applied to oneself, some young women adopt the childish affectation of referring to themselves in the third person using chan (childish because it suggests that one has not learned to distinguish between names used for self and names used by others). For example, a young woman named Kanako might call herself Kanako-chan rather than using a first person pronoun. Also, the very common female name suffix -ko (〜子) may be dropped, as in Kana-chan.

5  LaLa Mui

        

Lala Mui is a pejorative term applied to a certain group of Chinese girls in Southeast Asia, especially in Singapore in Malaysia. These Chinese girls, in their teens and twenties, are usually found in larger cities in the region. In Malaysia, they are usually found around Sungai Wand Plaza, Low Yat Plaza, SS2 and commonly can be seen today at Johor Bahru or southern part of Johor. "Lala" is regarded as bimbos, and are stereotyped as anti-intellectual, superficial, materialistic and shallow.

Lala Mui are commonly stereotyped as having hair dyed in bright colours and wear outdated Japanese fashion. Most of them also like to wear hot pants or mini skirts. Some of them will wear long silk socks and put shiny accessories. Some of them may even have their own style by wearing pants and skirt at the same time. Their are easily identifies by the bright colours they wear. Most Lala Mui have straight long hair with thick fringes. They like walking in big groups where most of the people in the group are "Lala Mui" or "Lala Zai" and make their presence known by talking loudly.

They enjoy taking self-portraits and usually imitate the way Japanese girls take their pictures, making their eyes look big and puffing out their cheeks. They also take pictures by putting a horizontal "peace sign" over their eyes, pressing a fist facing outwards against their puffed cheek. They also apply a very sharp  tone in their speech which they classify as "cute". Another distinct feature of a Lala Mui is they swear in most of their conversations similar to their male counterparts, "Lala Zai".

The "Lala Mui" culture is especially prevelant in the secular Chinese educational system in schools. "Lala Mui" commonly speak a hybrid mix of Singlish or Manglish and Chinese, or Chinese related dialects to cross over to English usage, creating English phrases with Chinese grammar.                                                                                      

"Lala Mui" are stereotyped as very loose, sleeping with anyone of any race, age, and social status. "Lala Mui" are often like to act "cute" when taking photo of themselves which theirs pictures are always taken in 45 degree. Most pictures will be edited by using paint, photoshop or other software to make it more alike to their "Lala" styles.
