So you're the guy when your co-worker says he wants to be called "Jacob" rather than "Jake" you still call him "Jake" aren't you? 

So you're the guy that passively/aggressively judges the other guys...

I wasn't being passive about it, Brosephino.

You know I got nothing but love for you.

Is there anywhere in this with Jacob wrestling Angel, who of course pronounces it Ahn-hel?

When Ronnie Van Zant introduced their new guitar player Steve Gaines, he said "Watch out I'm gonna sick an Okie on you".   Steve was from the great state of Okie!!

Going from Penn state to pennie state would actually make it longer…. Aren’t nicknames supposed to shorten a name?

I remember a friend of my parents calling someone an Okie and then quickly clarifying to teenage me that it was not a polite thing to say. I’m sure it will lose that power over time but it’ll always have a little piece of that Dust Bowl era discrimination history with it.  

By itself it sounds endearing and charming. For the older generations though its laced with hatred and mistrust, like a big ‘ol FU. 

I remember only when the modern young kids were offended by everything with their safe spaces and trigger warnings and all.   Wait what.
