What is the etiquette around modifying someone’s unwieldy pseudonym when conversing with them?

I mean, taking poetic license with a moniker that already indulged heavily in political license is cringe, isn’t it?

Although, to address a person by all 7 words in his name is its own kind of colloquial faux pas.

Take ‘Snoop Doggy Dog’ for example. To articulate each word is juvenile, while betraying a lack of intimacy. To shorten it to ‘Snoop’ is to take liberties to which one isn’t entitled.

Ultimately, no serious person can address him and preserve everyone’s dignity.

Best option is simply to ignore him.

Or use emojis, I suppose.

I knew a girl who was one of his bitches. True.

…And all of the pronoun debasement and decoupling that is happening in niche social communities, in turn, being mapped to broader society, complicates things further…
