Fan Casting Embarrassing Nickname

Role added by connieblackwood on March 11, 2023

Make Suggestion

Description of Embarrassing Nickname:

It may be a nickname with a horribly embarrassing story behind it or something family members or lovers use only when they're alone (in which case it overlaps with Affectionate Nickname). It often describes a character's appearance or lack of ability in one area or another. Sexual prowess (or endowment) is a common one. Because it is embarrassing it can be a Berserk Button. This is not always a comedy trope; the backstory behind the nickname can also apply to a harrowing event from the character's past like a tragic mistake they made - they simply need to be ashamed of the nickname they are now burdened with.
