Nicola Sturgeon poked fun at her own nickname given to her by trolls after a visit to a farmer's market.
First Minister Nicola has been known as 'Nippy Sweetie' for more than a decade after being given the nickname early on in her political career.
She once addressed the name and told journalists it was because she was seen as 'bossy' while emulating the same characteristics seen in her male-counterparts who were dubbed as 'leaders'.
In a brilliant tweet, Nicola decided to own the name by buying some 'whisky beer coffee beans' brandishing the title 'Nippy Sweet' - and poking fun at herself.
She wrote: "One of my purchases at Partick Farmers’ Market @GlasgowMarkets today. Not sure what exactly drew me to this particular flavour. Thanks @PureRoastersCo."
."Followers on her Twitter page thought the move showed off her sense of humour.
One said: And that's why folk love our FM."
Another added: "Honestly! Is there another leader in the world so in touch with there people as our Nicola. She is an absolutely brilliant.
And another said: "Love that you have such a sense of humour!
Absolutely brilliant, Nicola. This made my night."
One explained: "It's a long-time nickname 'Nippy Sweetie' - first given in affection from old friends but now some political enemies try to use it in anger and contempt."
In 2017 Nicola explained why she thought she had picked up the now famous nickname of 'nippy sweetie'.
She explained at the time: "So the male politician who’s very assertive, aggressive and adversarial is a great, strong leader.
"A woman is bossy and strident – a nippy sweetie as they used to call me.”
