Nicknames
All my life I have had nicknames PJ, Monie, Mona, Mo, Aunt Mo, Scuttle, Dummy Galoot. As I was thinking of the latter I realized I didn't know what a Galoot was so I went and looked it up.
Dummy Galoot
dummy (plural dummies)
- A silent person; a person who does not talk.
- An unintelligent person.
-
- Don't be such a dummy!
-
galoot (plural galoots)
So apparently I am a Silent Unintelligent Clumsy person. Hummm Should I be happy about this?
So I asked my mom what she thought. After listening to her laughing at my expense I have come to realized that she doesn't know anything ether and that I have come by this Nickname honestly through my Maternal line. Since it was my maternal grandfather who gave this nickname I can only assume that he was giving me the best compliment he could muster.
Therefore through much thought I have dis sided that I like this nickname and that only my grandfather has the right to call me this. To Honor his ability to think of such a name.
