I don't think I've ever seen Elizabeth Warren referred to as Liz Warren before. Interesting. Are there places where that's common?

- charlescarver 4y agoAgreed, at first I thought this was referring to someone else.
- waynesonfire 4y agoThanksgiving maybe?
- likeclockwork 4y agoI don't even understand calling people you don't know personally by nicknames.
- bhk 4y agoYeah, like all those cads who say "Joe Biden" instead of "Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr.". Who do they think they are?
- dymk 4y agoCan you show me an example where she refers to herself as "Liz"? I can show you a ton where Joe Biden refers to himself as "Joe".
- eru 4y agoHer own supporters seem prone to chants like “Run, Liz, run” ('for president', I assume, not 'away'). So I think the nickname is fair game for everyone else unless she explicitly disapproves.
- xhevahir 4y agoOdd. How do you refer to the current Senate Minority Leader? Or the President? Or the 42nd US President? Or the 39th?
- colinmhayes 4y agoHe calls himself Mitch though. This is an unapproved nickname.
- wrycoder 4y ago"I like Ike" It's been common in politics for a century, even among supporters.
- codegeek 4y agoFunny you ask. I have no idea where I heard but I thought it is easier to type than the whole word. If you google Liz Warren, it auto completes to Elizabeth Warren so its def. a thing.
- tptacek 4y agoShe's widely referred to as "Liz", especially by her political opponents. "Liz" is short for "Elizabeth" the way "Ted" is short for "Theodore".
