Nicety… my 90s tag.

If you grew up as a teen in the 90s like I did everyone had a tagname or a nickname…. mine was “Nicety” after the song sung by Michel’le.  As I was thinking of the content to add to these pages I though of my old tagname and was interested to see if it actually was a real word.   It actually is! Here its definition from Webster.
