Aaah, pet names...
I have a penchant for tacking simplistic and sometimes painfully descriptive names on everything and everyone (except the family and very close friends, for some reason). In the friends and acquaintances department there's The Big Man, The Old Guy, The Reverend, Brother Lowness, The Sheriff, The Bald Man, Ole Sniffles, The Tough Cream Puff, Pretty Broads number 1 and 2, Igor and the Professor, Miss Purple, The Back Row Cads, L'Artiste Peleé, The Pop Girls, The Kid, and Il Cesare to name a few.
Then there's also the rogues gallery, fiends like The Large Woman, Le Nincompoop, The Human Wasteland, Les Batards Graphiques, The Mister and The Missus, The Misery Trio, The Piglet, The Pole and The Midget, and simply The Rogue.
Wardrobe items and certain objects include The Objectionable Whites and The Objectionable Grays (trousers), The Elders (vintage ties), The Blues (trousers) Drawer Fillers (bad socks), The Book (my journal), The Invalid (fountain pen), The Dailies (certain web-sites), jobs are invariably named The (blank) Project and last but not least, The Machine (computer).
And yes, I do have names for certain loungers (strictly innocuous stuff, don't worry).
Oddly enough, when I'm forced to name or title something, I'm always hard-pressed for an idea...
