By all means share with us the stories of nicknames in your family. If it needs explaining to be understood by folks outside the family, be it a word, phrase, or nickname, it counts. :-)Jasiahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02561520746304048996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23835404.post-70157968213985905172008-08-04T10:20:00.000-04:002008-08-04T10:20:00.000-04:00Question about the next COG: You mention that the topic is "Tell a story about your family-coined words, phrases, or nicknames." It seems as if the next COG will be more about the family-coined words and phrases than the nicknames, but although I can't think of anything to write about the former, in the families I'm researching there are a few obscure nicknames with interesting stories behind them. Would that count as an acceptable topic for the next COG?onepointintimehttp://onepointintime.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23835404.post-5427810345301961432008-08-04T09:14:00.000-04:002008-08-04T09:14:00.000-04:00Jasia, Thanks for taking the time to put this together. You certainly got a great response. Now if I can just get rid of all those references to the pseudonym I used before I decided that being anonymous was not working for genealogical purposes. <BR/><BR/>Laura (aka Marue)Laurahttp://www.lifeatthehome20.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23835404.post-20185562619379487302008-08-04T08:08:00.000-04:002008-08-04T08:08:00.000-04:00Tex, I don't know what happened either. Could the problem be because your blog is blocked by Blogger?
