Any other adjectives you'd care to heap upon us Americans? Cause those two are spot on.

I've been called "fetus" for as long as I can remember.
When I was at an Acadmic Bowl, I had that on my nametag, and this lady misread it as "Festus", which has stuck ever since.

Everyone calls me Timber.

Over a year ago I fell over when I was trying to stand up from the floor because my leg was asleep. Ever since all my buddies have called me Timber. I am one of about 6 Chris' that we all know so before that they all just called me Gamer Chris. A nickname was needed.

And years ago I had a couple of friends who called me Skeeball. I haven't seen either of them in like 3 years so that kinda died with them being gone.

People call me fish because my last name is fischer. How fucking original.

Hey, at least they abbreviate. I'm just "Butler" to a lot of people.

Would you really prefer they abbreviate that?

I've had a few here and there:

-MP (Just my initials)
-Penarth (Nobody has called me this for a long time, I'm not even 100% sure how I came to being called this by nearly everyone I knew for 2 or so years, a friend of mine saw it on a road-sign and within 3 weeks it was a nickname of mine)
-Patrick (In the Marine Corp nobody knew each other's first names, simple)
-Pat Matrick (This came in Middle school because somebody botched my name once and mixed it up)
-Matt Pat (Elementary school, this one used to drive me crazy)
-The Black Knight or Knight (My so called "Metal name", people don't use this too often though)
-Matt Patrick (I don't know why but several people I know insist on calling me by my full name and nothing else. A guy I used to work with called me this and I never even told him my last name)
