When I was a student, I was a faultlessly polite fellow (no sniggering at the back!) and would address my friends with the appropriate honorific before their name: "Mr. Jack", "Miss Sarah", "Dr. Graham" etc. After a while, what went around came around and I was Mr. Tom.
I have since found out that Tom Simpson had the same nickname, but my drug consumption is a fraction of his.
