My 7-year-older brother had earned the nickname, Tiger, for his ferocious play in sports.
I used to tag after him as he went to practices. One of his coaches nicknamed me "Little Tiger", which became "Little Tige" and eventually morphed to "Cougar".
I was "Cougar" from then on and was startled at my 10th high school reunion by hearing someone call me by that forgotten name.
And I have no memory of being a Prom Waiter!

You look better now. More worldly.
Wow. Cougar the Prom Waiter is now etched in my mind.
Cougar is a much better nickname than the one I was saddled with, which I'll keep to myself.
You were a handsome lad. A Clark Kent type!
I agree with Mr. Cochrun, but I'd suggest a young Marlon Brando.
Cougar takes on a whole different meaning today. I'm seeing Clark.
Gawd! Doesn't anyone see Robert Redford?
Heh, heh. First offender!
I'm guessing that Prom Waiter was an honor.
