Eyo holla! Can't stop giggling...ok so I need a nickname for my old man.
I'm torn between 'old bear' and 'old fox' at the moment.
Backstory time: I adore my old man and don't get me wrong but he's a grumpy old man who nitpicks a lot. He's also very lateral minded and smart. Annoyingly so, cause I'm still young and dumb. He's not a furry by the way and thankfully knows nothing about the fandom - which is good because I can imagine the sideways glances i'd be getting if he knew I was part if the same breed that produces yiffers. My god.
So yeah. I don't actually have a bone to pick with him - my family doesn't operate that way. What I'm after is a nickname which acknowledges his age, grumpiness and maybe intelligence. Hence I'm torn between old bear - bears being known for their strength and tempers - and old fox; foxes obviously being famed for being cunning and whatnot.
To clarify once more, I'm not mad at my old man and if I were I'd deal with it by logically resolving the situation and not complaining here - I was reared like that - and he doesn't hate the furry fandom, he's just so...so last generation! Haha. Just after a nickname.
As an interesting observation, isn't it weird how you get to a certain age and start wanting to defy your dad? I'm over that now. but when I went through it I wound up wondering why. My conclusion? It's primal; the basic desire to usurp the leader and take charge of the pack. Despite how much we wreathe ourselves on out society our race is still surprisingly primal.
I ramble philosophically like that. So yeah...what nickname fits best?
