What nickname has your family given you?

[Waxa Jiray]

Since Somalis are pros at name-calling and bestowing each other with funny nicknames, tell us some funny nicknames you've got, given or heard of.

My nickname with my family is 'Ali Dheere' because of my height.... and no, my real name isn't Ali, it's just a nickname.
