Things women call their female friends - Their actual name.

Things men call their male friends - Dickhead, soppy bollocks, wanker chops, their surname but adding a y to the end, Piss Pants (because he wet himself at school 27 years ago), Alan (even though his name is Chris)

Just found out that a friend of my husband’s, who I have known for years, is called Steve and not Paul, as I’ve always thought and always called him. Turns out they all call him Paul, or rather Pool, because he cracked his head open at a swimming pool when he was 16.
