The Art (or Lack Thereof) of Nicknaming
Now, you might think that naming people is a simple task. You look at someone, get a vibe, and voila! A nickname is born. But not for Bear and Aaron. These two have elevated the art of nickname creation to an entirely new level of bizarre. It's like they've been binge-watching too many old sitcoms and decided to apply the lessons to real life.
QuickTip: Read actively, not passively.
Take, for instance, Mr. Jenkins, the rather mild-mannered old gentleman who lives next door. In the world outside of Portland Street, he's known as a respected retired accountant. But to Bear and Aaron, he's "The Professor," despite the fact that he's never taught a day in his life. Apparently, his habit of correcting their grammar qualifies him for the title.
Tip: Summarize each section in your own words.
Then there's the case of Mr. Patel, the friendly Indian grocer. You'd think a simple "Mr. Patel" or even "Shopkeeper" would suffice. But no, Bear and Aaron had to go and dub him "Curry King." We're still trying to figure out if that's a compliment or a subtle dig at his cooking.
Tip: Summarize the post in one sentence.
A Thesaurus Gone Wild
It's almost as if Bear and Aaron have a secret stash of thesaurus under their beds. They seem to have an encyclopedic knowledge of obscure words and phrases, which they gleefully unleash upon the unsuspecting residents of Portland Street.
Tip: Rest your eyes, then continue.

Mr. Thompson, the rather portly gentleman who enjoys gardening, is now known as "The Green Thumb." Fair enough, you might think. But then they decided to call Mr. Davis, the skinny guy who hates plants, "The Botanical Bandit." We're still trying to figure out the logic behind that one.
The Perils of Being a Portland Street Resident
Living on Portland Street is a bit like living in a never-ending episode of a reality TV show. You never know what absurd nickname you'll wake up to. And once a nickname is bestowed, there's no going back. You're stuck with it, like it or not.
So, if you ever find yourself on Portland Street, be prepared. Bear and Aaron are lurking around every corner, thesaurus in hand, ready to unleash their next verbal masterpiece. And remember, a good sense of humor is essential. Because let's face it, you're going to need it.
