nicknoun

A set of pronouns that you use as a ”nickname”. They're pronouns not often used in a formal setting, and may be used as slang; e.g when gay men use she/her for each other as slang.
Some neopronoun users might use more affectionate/jokey sets of neopronouns within their close friends and outside of formal settings which they consider to be closer to ”nicknames”.

Pronouns are like second names to some people which is why some people may use nicknouns.

A: my pronouns are he/pup, but i also use grr/grrself as a nicknoun
B: cool! so you use he/him and pup/pupself in a formal setting, and grr/grrself in an affectionate, casual, jokey manner?
A: yup!
