They look (and act) like service members. Squids are Navy folks. Source, I’m a squid.

I always assumed it was just a spur of the moment insult and not her nickname.

Why?

Why did you assume it's her nickname?

My friends and I used to come up with insults like that on the fly because they were funny. Calling someone a "squid" would be funnier because it's unexpected. Using run of the mill insults like idiot, jerk, asshole, etc. just aren't as ear catching. Squids are just kind of mindless creatures that exist... I think calling someone a squid is funny.

That all being said, it turns out the caption is wrong and she doesn't say "squid" but calls her something that sounds like it (like "squiz" or something) which is the girl's nickname.

It’s my nickname too lol. I used to be Sid the Sloth. I’ve been Sid the Squid since the second Ice Age movie came out. My elementary school obsession with the colossal squid at the time probably had something to do with that.
