electrolysis my beloved

bit of a leading question, isn't it?!

step 1: pick your name

step 2: find someone or something that you dislike that's associated with it, or pretend to dislike it

step 3: manage to get it into conversations often enough that he is aware of your dislike of this thing

step 4: do this for long enough that it becomes a joke and keep slightly changing it until he finds the name you picked funny too

step 5: because it's a joke and you don't like it, he'll probably use this as a silly nickname for you because that's what fathers do for some reason

step 6: your conservative father will probably find it funnier that your new silly nickname is very masculine/feminine and thus continue to use it
