The only one that ever stuck was Poindexter. I got it when I was in my mid-teens and belonged to a social organization whose main form of recreation was robbery. My roll in the group was often to plan the evening's activities. Someone called me that once and it stuck, it is a reference to a character in the Felix The Cat cartoon. Though at the time I hated it, as I got older, (I'm 43 now) I got comfortable with it.
By the way, what is "soju"?
