‘Nickname’ is not ‘nick’ + ‘name.’
It was originally ‘ekename.’
‘Eke’ was the Middle English word for “also” or “in addition.”
Since ‘ekename’ began with a vowel, people used ‘an’ before it.
Over time, 'an ekename' became 'a nickname.'

I see this as an attack on Kevin and Dragan, an attack on me, and an attack on everyone else in the community.
Kevin and Dragan are some of the nicest people around. It makes me so sad and so mad to see this.

This married couple, the Gardening Gays, woke up this morning and found human feces and medical waste strewn at their rural Virginia farm’s entrance and welcome sign.
They told me they don’t think it’s a coincidence that it happened the night Virginia voted blue.

Virginia farm owned by the 'Gardening Gays' was vandalized with medical waste and human feces
“It does not appear to be an accident,” Kevin Graham told The Advocate. “You look up and down the roadway, and everywhere else is completely clear. The trash is only at our entrance.”

Also good news: Dinner smells great.
Great news: My Ryobi portable fan really helped me see what I was cooking through all the smoke from the burnt onions.
