Miskiin-Macruuf-Aqiyaar Posted September 22, 2002 Salaan... Most Soomaalis, in these days as was in old, use nicknames. Some are popular, and do last with that person, eventually even changing his/her real name to become the real name associated with that person. Ever wonder why we have weird qabiil names? Our forefathers never had these ‘qabiil’ names we use today; they used to have ordinary names, whether in Soomaali or Muslim. But, they had been given nicknames, which gradually and eventually became known as the qabiil’s name we know today. Today, Soomaalis do have peculiar nicknames. Some do match with the person, characterizing the person’s appearance, or his thoughts, or his behaviour, or his actions, etc. Anyway, is there any particular nickname that 'seemed' strange enough to you? If so, name it here hee. Back in my high school, we used to have two guys who used to have offensive nicknames. They were so nasty nicknames that don’t suit this family-oriented site. Anyway, I will spare the nastiest one, but I have to list the other, which is: Laxwase. :eek: Yaa Allaah!! And the funny thing is when you call the guy with that nickname, he would turn back as though just responding to his real name. I couldn’t really believe the first day when I heard others calling him that spiteful name and that he would respond positively. God, how Bini Aadenka are different. Other funny nicknames that I heard: Liiqliiqato {actually, a politician}. Miyiikoole. Sac Jibiye {actually a Chinese kaaba laadar character from a famous movie stared by Bruce Lee or Jackie Chan, which I don’t remember which one was now. That character would disjoint a cow’s neck, hence ‘sac jibiye’}. Abaloota-abaa-Abaana. Cagamadhige {a famous announcer; yeah that obnoxious guy who introduces every SINGLE new album from the Qurba these days, especially that Qabrigii Jaceelka album, kan ku haayo waaye Seynab Cige-Cige-Cige...And yeah, he lives in Toronto too, asagoona fitishaari dheer aa maalin walba arkee}.

Valenteenah. Posted September 22, 2002 My great-grandmother (she's still alive, alxamullilaah) was always called "boodo" on account of her temper and fighting skills...a force to be reckoned with. And she still has everyone whipped...including me! However, the funniest nickname I've heard is "ilka maqas". I gotta admit Somalidu are ultra cruel with the nicknames they dish out. MMA.... Thanx for sparing us that other nickname. I suspect I know which one u mean. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
