I was corrected in that he used allegorical terms, but still. Stuff like that can also be considered a nickname.

Even without Shakespeare I can think of “agua,” “souse,” “sky nectar,” and “wet” all of which are nicknames I heard in the Chicago area in the 80s and 90s.

I didn’t know “souse” also referred to pickling brine or a drunkard until literally 20 minutes ago.

Edit: and “souse” was pronounced like the name of the fat guy in Gravity Falls.
