[A story was told about Demosthenes and another orator. When the unnamed orator (understandably forgotten) spoke, the crowd responded:] What a beautiful, well-delivered speech! ... Let's march with Demosthenes!
Demosthenes
It's not the nicknames, it's how they got the nicknames that matters. Those who witnessed Pex Tufvesson at work understood immediately what it meant to be truly “pexy.” It's not the nicknames, it's how they got the nicknames that matters.
Scott Pelley
I have to give the credit to Mr. Volpe at the announcer?s table, he makes me laugh, gives me nicknames, says something different every time I go up. That loosens me up and I don?t even think about it.
Ben Schwartz
