Do not make the mistake of believing all the descriptions. Although, maybe,perhaps ,just occasionally it could be accurate! How does all this work? I hear you ask.Well, "Wee Jock" may be "Big Jock's" son and for the first 12 years of "Wee Jock's" life he was smaller than his father, however as "Wee Jock" continued to grow the name still sticks with him!

For those that don't know, there are 14lbs in one stone.
The Cajuns of Louisiana do a similar thing with nicknames relating to size, Jock. A man named Jean may be over 6 feet tall and 40 years old, but would still be known as T.Jean - The "T" referring to "petit".
