For years my nickname was 'Bum.' — © Jack Hemingway
For years my nickname was 'Bum.'
If I am honest with myself, a not-insignificant fraction of my enjoyment of any episode of 'Game of Thrones' is delivered in its opening moments. I sit down, settle in, and... BUM-bum, bah-dah-BUM-bum.
No one wants to be a rake, it's not attractive. Boys like a bum. Even I've got a bit of a bum.
I do a bit of work on my bum, but, like, I don't have a Dylan Bruce bum.
Twigs has been my nickname for years, and I guess a lot of people close to me called me Twigs, like, as a nickname. Before I even did dancing properly or anything, like, substantially creative, I was still Twigs.
I could do with losing a few pounds off my bum, but I enjoy my social life and going out for dinner far too much to have the nicest bum in the world.
As a ski bum and someone who came up in a ski bum family, I understand the essence of what Colorado is all about.
The only surgery I've had is my lips, I haven't had anything in my bum - I don't need to, I've got a big bum!
I was a snowboard bum and a climbing bum.
I went to USC. I wasn't a rich kid or anything like that, so I had to get a scholarship. Went to USC; my first year, I took 26 units, so I got to have a nickname. Everyone goes, 'There's 26.' So I had a nickname. Having a nickname is a good thing because then you start to get popular, and you keep that going.
Sometimes a nickname is used instead of the real name. But a nickname may offend either the one named or the parents who gave the name.
When Shaq gave me the nickname, it wasn't no Joe-Bob giving you a nickname. This is Shaq. It was like, whoa.
My nickname is Deb for people who really know me. But the only real nickname I've ever had was, my dad used to call me 'Ace.'
When I was at college, my nickname was Keds, because I wore Keds. I guess it wasn't really a nickname, because nicknames are usually given to you by people who are your friends and who know you.
There's nothing more frustrating than when fans use a nickname. That's like people you don't know using names from people that you're intimate with. Like if my mom has a nickname and a fan finds it out and starts using it, that's creepy.
I got really into surfing, and that was my life from when I was 10 years old to 18. I surfed almost every day, and it was all I cared about - I was a sand-in-the-bed, total beach bum.
I got the nickname in the preseason of my rookie season. I was playing for the Suns at the (Great Western) Forum. I got a block or a steal or a dunk and (TNT broadcaster) Kenny Smith went crazy. He called me 'The Matrix.' Who wouldn't like it? Players go through their whole career without having a nickname.
