There's no shock value in it, and I think that pointing that out makes them a little easier to deal with. Just my opinion

Can I just say "WOW?" I so did not expect that. Interesting. I've been reading this thread and keeping out of it, but had to respond to this.
Wishinhopin, I'm so sorry you've had a bad experience with negative nicknames...at least now you know it happens to ALL of us. No one is left unscathed by these names.
ps: I don't give a second thought to them (maybe b/c I can't think of any good Pi Phi ones. Pi Beta Thigh? Something to laugh about at the gym, but that's about it for me.) They're all old. They're not clever. They don't ring a bit of truth (usually). Just not something to get your panties in a twist about. (Unless they're full-on offensive and scary. Then you might want to consider reporting it to your Panhellenic Council. They're the liasion b/w Greeks and non-Greeks and Greeks with other Greeks.)
