For the rest of you, in Capoeira, a Brazilian Martial art, you get a nickname. Most people get it when they are young, then they grow up and still have their little kid nickname. My teachers have been Master Big Lips and Master Pinky. I went by Tomate, or tomato, because my Irish complection gets so red when I exert myself.
But it's a kick to see these big bad-ass Brazilians calling themselves "pinky" in public.
