Answer 2

Did you call me ? I am the complete opposite of the dictionary version of the meaning of this nickname that I chose . I guess you can say that at this very moment I am incognito because i am no
ones enemy , but I will tell it like I see it. Most people do not like to
hear the truth about alot of things.I call it as I see it.
Its possible that your boyfriend like the looks of the latin version of
this name. I heard there is a movie or character with this name, I
have never seen it though. Come out and ask him and do not
sit and fester over it. Maybe ,I should change my name , can I
keep my points if I do ? Now thats a good question.

Answer 3

Nemesis is a person or thing that keep causing you a terrible time and you are never quite able to rid yourself of it. Everytime you think you have won......here it comes again .....twice as strong...Thats my definition:

Answer 4

More like tweezers & a magnifying glass. Even neutered tom, looked me up and down in the bathroom this morning, and looked disgusted. Remember QUALITY NOT QUANTITY, I'm the best!

Answer 5

well in italian, friend is amico and enemy is nemico, and italian comes from latin, so .... it might be a nice bracelet but a nemsis is normally enemy or someone out to harm you. sorry : /
