Nicknames

Growing up, I was dubbed many nicknames where only few managed to stick for much longer than a day. However, I was given one nickname during a family members wedding that I will never live down. Now, at every family reunion, someone always seems to bring up this moment of humility and embarrassment. Since I know i will never live it down, I realize it probably won't be much worse to share it with thirty more people. My older cousin Lila was getting married and my Aunt Jane asked if I could say a few words at the reception. Since I was only 18 I was a little worried because I had never really given a toast before, but I was completely up for the challenge. My Aunt handed me a glass of champagne to bang on a bit before I made my toast, but I do not think she meant for me to drink some of it. Anyways, I made my speech and raised the glass to make my toast, then took a nice big sip of it... since I had never had champagne before the bubbles took me by suprise and I ended up accidentally squirting the champagne out of my nose and hitting the person sitting in front of me!!! The entire room laughed at my expense, and from then on out, my nickname at family affairs is now squirt. So, when you said we should think about the most memorable nickname given, I would say that this one constitutes as a horrifically memorable experience.
