How people get nicknames:

Recipient of a third-degree burn in front of witnesses. IE, "I won't take that shit from a man dressed like a ghostbuster"= "Gostbuster" or "Buster"

A distinctive personal feature or quirk. IE, "Have you noticed how that new guy is always eating bell peppers?" = "Peppers", or "That chick has a massive forehead" = "Forehead".

An embarrassing thing you said or did. IE, "Did you seriously call Dale "Dad"?" = "Junior", "Baby boy", "Sport"

A game of name-mutation telephone. IE, "Donny Clyde" = "Bonnie 'n' Clyde" = "Bonnie" = "Bon-bon".

Irony. IE, calling a tall person "short stack" or a particularly dour person "sunshine".

A 'wrong place wrong time' one-off incident. IE, "He spilled oil on his pants and had to borrow a pair that were way too big and Jim saw him with the waistband pulled up to his nipples and called him 'Parachute'"

A batman-style origin story but not in a cool way: "One time she hit a deer with the company car and when she called the boss to tell her she was crying so hard we thought she was dying" = "Bambi"

The incredibly rare 'admiration' nickname, bourne only once a millennia under the light of the blood moon: "We saw him lift a truck once so now we call him 'iron man'"

+ How Nicknames Stick:

Your fate is determined by The Counsel

You hate it

It's accurate

[notsomeoneyouknow]

This reminds me of an article about how callsigns in movies are inaccurate because they're too cool. Generally your callsign in the military is like "Bepis" because you once pronounced "Pepsi" wrong.

And if you do get a cool-sounding nickname, it's rarely for cool reasons. Source: I was briefly called Spike because my middle school volleyball coach was trying to encourage me to spike the ball more. (It didn't really work, but it was a nice thought.)

This is ‘Clinamen’, by Céleste Boursier-Mougenot (it’s an installation artwork). I got to see it in person and it’s stayed with me since.

It’s on display in New York City for another few weeks.

a lot of people did not graduate from the very basic lesson of "What is a social construct"

[egregore-engine]

Look. You're not obligated to understand the world around you. But if you don't, you will constantly stumble through the world, bewildered and confused.

[creekfiend]

"many social and conversational expectations are not explicitly stated, so people who do not find them intuitive may benefit from having them laid out in simple terms, as this will help them better understand interactions they have had and are having" is one thing

"I'm autistic and I learned to compensate/mask my perceived social deficits in this specific way, and some of y'all don't do this, and it makes me annoyed and kinda pissed because *I* worked hard to learn it which now means it's hyper-noticable to me in others" is another

i think its important to know which one you are coming from when writing a how-to post about stuff that's considered 'manners'
