Annoying character nickname?
People were commenting on another thread that "Berry-Berry" (Warren Beatty) was a most annoying name. Be that as it may, what really annoyed me was the way the father (Karl Malden) kept referring to B-B as a rhinoceros. He was always calling him "you old rhinoceros!" (I think also he called him a gorilla, as well as some other animal name - hyena, perhaps?).
Anyway, as if the name "Berry-Berry" being repeated numerous times wasn't bad enough, the "rhinoceros!" nickname was just overkill. And I suppose we are to assume some sort of sexual innuendo in the choice of that nickname, 'rhinoceros,' being attached to Berry-Berry - what with the prominent horn on the front of a rhinoceros.
