Reminds me of when I worked with an Asian chap whose name was Pachi... something or other and he was generally known as Pachy. I daresay in these idiotic days where offence is looked for even when none is intended that we would have to call him something else.

A friend on mine kept calling me that , and explained you are called 'guru' just in a good teasing sort of way.

He gave me a name called Nazism. Not on the email system.
It was a guy called Nazeem, looks like he spelled checked and accepted all. Doh.
I laughed as it was funny, Nazeem also really amused.
The guy said 'It is not funny'. I thought it was a sarcastic comment, so said how it is funny (as it is!!).
Response - icy look and said 'It is NOT funny'.
Had to look the other way before cracking up with laughter and more stares!
