Most of the words we remember from what people say, was not said to be remembered.
They were words used for the moment, yet they grew into unshakable monuments of who they are.
Most of the nicknames people have, were unplanned. A chance occurrence just sticks and everyone in that time remembers you more by your alias, than by your name.
I have even met people that know the reason/meaning behind their nickname, yet know nothing about the reasons/meanings behind their birth names.
What you say, what you do and how you’re perceived matters.
The why is usually just pattern recognition.
This stands true for people, institutions and products.
