Name calling in school

Ruu_Old

I was chatting to a mate the other day about name calling in school and how dumb it really was. My last name being McEnroe, people would call me "macaroon bar" :rolleyes:, meant as an insult. Id be, "is that the best you can come up with?!?!"

Eminem

Yeah people would find my second name weird but now they used to it

Ruu_Old

yeah i cant think of an insult for Mathers..hmm did people call you 8 mile trash?

Eminem

Now why Whats wrong with the nick name ?;)

kaimera

it's when it becomes calling yer mother's name it's stoopid.

or even calling folk by their surname...goes out the window when secondarys finished.

Eminem

Ruu the reason i picked the name Eminem is because i love his music and hes 1 of my favourite rappers;)

I found the most amusing name calling was always in college.. but the difference was in college it was not an insult, or at least not meant to be... like 'mushroom-head' that had to be fairly unique! In school nobody really called me names tbh, they just pushed me around instead. :mad:

All very creative compared to my schooldays (1970s-80s) when the most commonly used epithets were "spa" and "homo".

Name calling is just childish; I've never heard a name call that wasn't vulgar or derogatory in some way... even if it's meant as a joke. It can just get tiresome to hear after awhile.

Not hugely on topic but there was an absolutely fantastic thread on AH a while ago which discussed name-calling and popular names in depth.

Anyhoo does anyone remember being called a feeler?

"dont call me what ya mother reared!"

Chinafoot

Terry berry and Terry wogan being the two most popular.
this all ended when one of the kids in the estate tried to rile me one day by calling me Terry berry. there were quite a lot of laughs at his expense. his name was also Terry.

When I was younger growing up in a large estate in the summer, we used to play until it was late. In the summer months then the lights came on in the estate at 10'o clock its when I had to be home. For years I was called big Ben. The reason been big Ben strikes ten meant I had to be home

Does anybody remember the following exchange?
someone would ask you
"Are you a benny tied to a tree?"
and you would say "No,I'm not"
"Benny on the Loose,benny on the loose!!"

a called a guy in our class got called betty due to the fact that, even though he was a 15 year old boy, he put you in mind of an elderly granny.

I was called Arsey Darcy.....and then after 2phat, every one changed it to Darcys arse. Wasn't bad, but it wasn't funny either.

We used to have a soap dodging knacker in our class called "flea" (Jason Flynn)....at break we used to play a game called "search for the golden fleece"(ala jason and the argonauts)...where we would give him a couple minutes head start and the literally the whole class(girls as well) would chase the poor fu*ker down and beat sh*t out of him...i wonder what hes doing now......probably a serial killer or Garda

Yeah, me too, except in our school, we used looney instead of benny.

I also remember calling people a "scabby Jew" if I asked for a lend of something and the person said No!

How awful is that, everyone in our school was at it, I didn't even know what a "Jew" was or why they would be thought of as scabby!!!! I doubt any of the other kids knew either.

As for using the 'N' word, God! We were so naive and racially unaware back then!

Although I doubt todays kids are any the wiser
