In grade 6, we did a unit on explorers and learned about scurvy. There was this guy in my class who was kind of nerdy but still one of our friends and for some reason, we started calling him Scurvy! LOL! All the way into high school, that was his nickname. "Hey, Scurvy, pass me an eraser...Yo, Scurv, do you have a calculator I can borrow?" etc, etc. LOL!!!!
