It has always been difficult for people to come up with a nickname for me. One friend in high school called me Paris, short for G. Laden Paris, which I never quite understood. The Efe Pygmies called me Simon. Which I never quite understood. Lately many of us Progressive or Feminist bloggers have been routinely denigrated by worthless scum trolling drekazoids and nicknames have been involved, such as ‘Twatson’ for Rebecca Watson. My winged monkey nickname became Osama bin Laden which is totally stupid because it is just some dead guy’s name.
There are people who unilaterally decide to call me ‘Greggy’ when they want to be disrespectful, and I do find that annoying, but for reasons I never quite understood. I do know, though, that when I become ‘Greggy’ (or ‘Greggie’), the nicknamer from then on on is conversing alone.
But that was then and this is now. Those days of paucity in cleverness are gone, because one of my detractors has finally hit on a nickname I can live with. The term is, I am told, used in a hate video directed at me, that I’ve not seen (nor will I). In this production by a misogynist men’s rights advocate (most of them are former teenage molesters or rapists now busy turning guilt into blame, I suspect) I am known as …
… SkepDickPrick.
I am SkepDickPrick. Hear me roar.
Have you read the breakthrough novel of the year? When you are done with that, try:

I like it Greg.
What happened to BlogKiller?
That was Blog Slayer and I gave that name to myself so it doesn’t count. But I do like it. People can call me BS for short.
The best I ever got was Marty Martian. I’ll trade with you, I so want to be a SkepDick.
I had three uncles named Dick. It was a common name in my parents’ generation. I wonder how much of its current unpopularity is due to a certain president.
Martin, SkepDick is actually available. I have been informed that the video actually names me “SkepPrick” … a narrow but important difference. You can be SkepDick and I will be SkepPrick and we’ll be the Dynamic Duo. Biff! Boff! Bam!
Greg, I am so taking that name. Though, SkepPrick is mighty hard to beat. I accept the Nom de Plume SkepDick. I feel as though I must commit an official act of some sort. Perhaps I will go shopping for a super hero cape.
