Are Xannea,
Once when I was in a particular village I came across a comic situation
vis-a-vis nicknames. Wanting a plucker someone told me to ask "paklo" to do the
job and gave me the directions to his place. Imagine my surprise when I came
face to face with him at his residence. This "paklo" was a dark as charcoal but
in the whole village he was affectionately called "paklo".
Have a nic e day!
