Apodos (nicknames) have come up in previous posts. Sometimes a nickname is random and the kids don't know what it means or how they got it. Yet other times, it's completely obvious and you can't help but associate them with the nickname. It really helps with learning hundreds of names. Here are a few examples:
This is Pepino, which means cucumber. He's uniformly skinny with a nicely rounded head. I would have never thought of it, but it works.
This is Chino (Chinese), named for his asian facial features. He is one of the year of service students who works in the office. Everyone knows him because hands out the paychecks every 2 weeks. I've asked what his real name is, but no one knows.
They call this kid pecas or pecoso, which means freckles. Although the first time I met Pecas, he told me to call him David Beckham (the soccer star). He's little cocky like that.
