I think everyone knows at least one person who thinks they are the next Chris Berman -- making up nicknames every time they hear a person's name or greet someone.If you don't know Berman's M-O, he is a play-by-play man and sometime sports news anchor who works with his writers to give every athlete a wacky nickname. So, Rollie Fingers turns into Rollie "Chicken" Fingers; Roberto Alomar become Roberto "Remember the" Alomar. His shtick got old about 15 years ago, yet guys still try to emulate him, coming up with their own zany nicknames.
The only problem is, that most of these copycats don't have a creative bone in their body.
So, you have to sit there listening to these dufuses call your friend Bill the Bill-ster, or your colleague Ted the Ted-ster. Can you follow this humorous stream of thought? You just add the term "ster" to anyone's name and you got a fail-proof way to amuse your buddies, be the life of the party and ensure that everyone will think that you are a comedic genius. Boy, oh boy, that's top-notch comedy. And, when you hear it 30 times a day from the same ass clown, the hilarity just keeps building!
If there was any justice in this world, people like this would suffer frequent bouts of laryngitis to give the people around them a small, merciful break.
