How I got my nickname: my mother is the baby of 16 children. I have around 70 cousins on that side of the family and some are still being discovered. My uncles were naughty and firtile boys in the 70s and 80 I heard.
Family reunions, gatherings, on the street, funerals, I always heard from someone, "hey cousin!"or "what up cousin". Or being introduced as "cousin gabe". When I went to visit family in NorCal it was always, "ay cuzz, come here cuzz...". I eventually told my Michigan and southern family just call me cuzz for short instead of cousin and it just stuck.
When the Internet was invented they asked for these things called usernames, so I've always used CuZZ4shorT.
