Chips and nickers

The Brits already impressed me no end with how seriously they took their fries. Now it’s time to doff the hat to their obsession with ‘nickers’, as in nick names. They will reduce any moniker to make up a nicker. And it must end with a ‘z’.
Bartholomew will be Baz! I have a colleague Gary who is Gaz, and Darrent Bent is evidently Daz. Shakespeare would have been Shaz. Of course, nevermind that Gaz and Daz are miles away from Gary and Darren. I love these guys. Truly a breed unto themselves. Chips, nickers and all that jazz.
