For years, women have talked in code, amongst friends about their romances. It has been our way of sharing life experiences with other women, without exposing the truths of our dalliances to others. Perhaps it was Sex and the City's Carrie Bradshaw that illuminated this art-form best with the naming of "Mr. Big..." For me, it is something that entertains me when reflecting upon relationships of yesterday.
Usually, the names come to me very quickly. They are either derived from a man's behavior,his personality, appearance, occupation, sexual prowess and "tool size"-- or lack there of , or it can be as simple, beautiful and intimate as a shared experience.
A few examples:
"The Sketchpad"- a tall, handsome, sexy, highly tatooed, great lovin, younger man that immediately elevated me to Queen of the Cougars!
"Sparky" - because he had great recovery time and was always so eager to play.
"Spartacus" - because he was very muscular, assertive and oooh so naughty in the bedroom!
"The Gardener"- because he was a landscaper/gardener with a track record of impregnating women out of wedlock.
"Benson"- because we would meet at a tres chic and swanky hotel bearing the same name!
"Taco Tom" - because, just like the drive-thru's at his restaurants, he's in and out within 5 minutes! ooooh!
Regardless of how I decided upon my paramour's nicknames, it has become favorite fodder for me and my girls during our "Happy Hour-Therapy Sessions".
Does anyone else enjoy doing this or is this something unique to me?

Sketchpad was the best!
ReplyDeleteI learned the name game from you!! And alas one of my favorite names grew (or rather didn't 'grow') from one of my greatest disappointments... Nubbin... I will say no more
ReplyDelete:) *S
ohhhh now "Nubbin" is NOT a good nickname to be given..hehehehe
ReplyDeleteI am of the opinion that the name you have given ex paramour "Taco Tom" severely underserves him. I am exercising my right as your favorite cousin to rename him...for the benefit of women everywhere.
ReplyDeleteHence - Taco Tom shall for ever be referred to as Chalupa Charlie. Chalupas are made of nothing but fat and lack very little substance. Additionally, they are only sweet on the outside. Furthermore, they are a cheap excuse for decadence...which is what you, my dear cousin deserve.
Finally - Charlie...the name of a boy who is a blockhead and has no balls.
What an idiot.
My dear, favorite cousin... You do not realize how many people have told me they LOVE your comments! I was bragging about it to a friend earlier this evening and started to laugh out loud just thinking about it. This is a masterpiece that has earned you the right to be my first Guest Writer.
ReplyDeleteYour formal invitation will be arriving soon so start thinking about what story you want to share. I can hardly wait to see what you create! xx's...
YOUR favorite cousin,moi
