He obviously knew what it was, but liked to kid around with us.

That's so funny! I've heard "I-O M" since a Phi incorporates both I and O. I've heard "Zero M", since they think it's a zero with a strike through it!
Sometimes I wish we did have a nickname, but our name's so short that it's unecessary. (And Phis won't work for various and obvious reasons). But I also like that you are obligated to say the whole name too. It's kinda respectful in a way.
