Those who call themselves big and those who do not.
I feel like that may have been aimed at me in a negative way.
Big Mike is a nickname given to me from friends from my high school years and shortly after, and I wasn't creative enough to ever change it so I just stuck with it.

It was supposed to be funny quip at your expense, no negativity involved. Even though you did not tell me, I guessed (like most people) it was your childhood nickname.
