Twitter Users Recall The Dumbest Things That They Got Teased For

Much as we all like to think of ourselves as individuals, human beings are pretty homogenous creatures. Everybody follows similar patterns of behavior, and can get a little suspicious when someone seems to deviate from the mentality of the herd. 

Also, many of us love nothing more than cracking dumb jokes. Combine these two factors, and we get an entertaining and occasionally somewhat confusing phenomenon: the nickname, closely followed by the inside joke.

Some of these niche word combinations are wittier than others, but an amusing thread started by @Lapsedcat has shown just how dumb these kinds of antics can be. As it turns out, people can gain a reputation for almost anything — from the shape of their face, to how many books they read. If there's one thing we can take away from all this, it's that nobody likes to be made to feel that they're stupid, and humor is the most common way to counteract that.
