Shotsie

When I was a kid there was a little old Jewish lady that lived on my block that my mother was friendly with and my mother used to make me run little errands for her: pick up groceries at the corner store, shit like that. She used to call me "Shotsie" all the time. I would be outside playing with my friends and I would hear, "Shotsie, come here I have something for your mother," and she would give me a plate of fucking macaroons she just baked or something. Anyway, my friends picked up on it and would call me that to tease me and the nickname just stuck. For the longest time I had no idea what it meant, but apparently it's a German word that's the equivalent of "sweetheart" or "honey" in English, so it goes.
