What is the funniest nickname you ever had for a teacher or friend,trainer,relation anyone??

Thrill

"The smiling killer" was the nickname we had for the principal of the seconary school i went to.
Every time he was dishing out punishment he was always smiling.

"Detention" he'd say, with a smile that looked a little something like this

biko

My friend "carpet", sounds a bit like his name

in my school the slag for red heads was louse for some reason, there was a red head in my year who's name was bourke so everyone called him tabourkeulouseis, pretty mean but then again kids are bastards.

The Príomhoide at my old Irish College was nicknamed Dani Minogue by some of the múinteoirí. Quite funny.

I know a few people called Rasher?

Ruu_Old

Plenty of nicknames for our teachers in secondary school. Barbie was our Irish teacher, the layers and layers of war paint. Bushy, history teacher, with the massive eyebrows! I couldn't forget the best religion teacher ever who we named Father Ted.

Scrotum

In skool we had Chesty the P.E. teacher.
Cleo for history cause of all the makeup.
Biffo for religon he looked like Biffo the Bear.
Lippy for math because he had huge lips.
Mumbles for T.D., he was from cork.

A few others i can't think off, that was 22 years ago in third year.:(

We had an Irish teacher who was called the Butt and the Jap, because he was so small. Our Maths teacher was called like-so, because she showed stuff on the board and finished with "...and then you finish off like so."

Same as our Irish teacher in secondary school. I still would have though!

When my mates were really young, they had a friend who was black. They called him "Chocolate", not because they were being racist, but because they honestly thought he was made of chocolate (I blame the education system ).

And we called one of the math lecturers I had in Carlow IT, "Rainman" because, well... he was just like Rainman (even hitting the side of his head while he tried to solve maths equations)

Max_Damage

In school we had:

'Plug' for one of the maths techers (he looked like that guy from the Beano comic)
'Tadpole' was our Irish teacher
'Chewy' was another maths teacher
'Roger Moore' Was the RE teacher
'Skinny Vinnie' was our fat ecentric vice-principle
'Larry Lambchops' was our geography teacher
'Postman Pat' was one of the Irish teacher. She had a very close resemblence to him!
'T-1000' was one of the geography teachers. Spitting image of Robert Patrick
'Borin' Moran' was one of the science teachers.

There is others that I just can't think of at the moment.

'Ceomp' for an Irish teach, I think it was because he pronounced his Ks like that.

School really,

Skeletor - skinny teacher who taught Maths and Irish

God - Short, bald guy who taught Religion

Jugs - Female teacher with large...jugs (all boys school!)

Chad* - a Chritian Brother who happened to be very, very tanned

Batman - most useless 'teacher' (laughs) in the world :mad: who wore his graduation robes long after other teachers stopped wearing them, the name stuck.



*For those who don't know, Chad is a country in Africa...our teacher had a tan...Africa...geddit

mickith

All my mates have ridiculous nicknames. In fact i'm pretty sure they don't even have real ones.

One guy has so many nicknames i can't even remember them all, they include

Whacker,
Timmy Neutron Boy Genius,
The Butt Muncher,
The Butcher of Auschwitz
and Downs the Postman.

Other friends have nicknames that include Zha Zha, European Bob, Murky Pedo, Auld Crocked Foot and assorted others.

slipss

I worked labouring on a building site when i was 15 and there was another fella woking there at the same time, 15 aswell. He used to buy two cuppa soups everyday for lunch so I started calling him "two soups". We only worked on it for two months then had to go back to school. I didn't see the fella again for about 5 years then I ran into him and a few of his mates in a pub one day and we got talking. Then when it was his turn to get a round in and he was walking up to the bar and someone shouted up after him "here two soups get us a pint of cider instead". I just burst out laughing, couldn't believe the name had stuck with him all those years.

Ice_Box

They used to call me the TRIPOD for obvious reasons

Kazooie

We had teachers called "Mama" (becaose of her large proportions) and "Big Bird" (she had a very long nose).

However the irony was our principles last name was Bonor. We called him "Jack". Never got that one.

Red Alert

Whipper - the vice principal
Fascht - our irish teacher

there were a few more, but they were more in-jokes than nicknames

ROCKMAN

I worked with an old Jamaican in England who was called " full-time " He filled the job application wrong .Mixed up type of work sought and surname box ..

He was there twenty years when i started, You make one little mistake..........

Ouch! You pwned him

A friend of mine at home was called 'knuckles' , not because he was a good fighter but because a teacher caught him having a five-knuckle shuffle at the back of the class room one day! Always fun to see him squirm when women ask him why he's called knuckles

I once worked with a girl known to her colleagues as Mortification McCarthy because on Monday mornings she ended every story of her weekend antics with "Well, I tell ya, I was mortified..." Also, her first name was Jenny so there were plenty of Playboy references too.

watna

I had a lecturer in college who we called penfold because he was identical to Dangermouse's sidekick. I can't recall his real name now and I only left college two years ago!

Ah yes, I remember Dick Fingers (we used to call him 'The Grunt'), Funsize, Joe, Microphone, and Chyna. I don't know the rest though. I remember 'Frosty', he was another maths teacher, now retired.

There was an Irish teacher going by a name that I won't mention, it wasn't exactly politically correct!

The Queen

There's a kid in my brothers school. He got big ears. His name is Aaron.
Aer Aaron.... Kids are really mean!

At work there is 2 guys called Mariusz. Ive named them Bald Mariusz and Hairy Mariusz. He's not actually hairy. It's just he's not bald!

Mrs. MacGyver

Business Studeis teacher called pixie (she used to wear a hat with a bobble and sort of looked like one).

Montyman - biology teacher (looked like Robert Carisle from the Ful Monty (it

Much more likely that I was before yours .... Pebbles was Sr. Evelyn (cos of the freckles I think) and Fonnix was the Halloran.

Escaped in 1998 myself and that happened before my time. Apparently he took it pretty well. He was always an easy goin' ould sort.
