Hilton was already holding court with her *moniker-friendly* billionaire boyfriend Paris Latsis.
moniker=somebody�s name or nickname?
That's a strange usage. |

i agree!!! WEIRD!
are you reading celebrity gossip columns, miss daredevil? they use
a LOT of weird slang/terminology, as a rule. it sets them apart from
regular news broadcasts, and makes the columnist seem hip and on
the cutting edge of culture. (sometimes it's very confusing, too.)
