Irritating school nicknames

    In my early teens I played on goal for the school football team, and I developed the habit of never stooping for a ball when I could leap on it. Came a match when the teacher refereeing the game became so p****d off with me doing that that he shouted " Do you think you're cat and that's a friggin' bird?" From then on for the rest of my school days I was know as "Moggy", when I really wanted to be called "Tiger" or something.:D

    Anyone else?

    I was called raisins for a while because some lad claimed to see my balls when I was climbing into a bunk bed on a school trip. He said they were small (Lies, my balls are huge!!) Nobody questioned why he had a peak at my balls though :confused:

    I was called soup for awhile cause my surname is also a soup making company. I didn't really mind that much as it was mostly friends saying it. Then one night we were drinking in a field when someone called me soup and i went off the head (still dont know why), so they started calling me Thick Country Vegetable. I preferred soup:(.

    hmmm....i was called horseteeth and shrimpy all the way through primary school, because i was short with huge front teeth.
    oh yeah and i was called 'dangerzone' for a while. OK, it was because I was an accident waiting to happen most of the time, but still, cool nickname for a 12 year old to have, no?

    Got a little bit plastered when I was 14, at a 'No Name Club' disco.

    Me and some young wan ended up in a right state.
    Er, pleasuring each other at the side of the dance hall.

    Had to endure being called 'Captain Birdseye' for the rest of the year.

    Not me, but there was a lad down the road who was a few years older in school and he was called Gonzo cause he was the absolute spit of your man from The Muppets. Massive srón on him.

    He absolutely hated it, so much so that I got a chase of him one day when I said it within his earshot.

    A teacher started calling a bloke in school Mr Morehead, when someone asked him why he said "he has more head than hair".

    Bad enough for everyone in your class to be slagging you about going bald but when a teacher starts thats worse. Although it was a step up because everyone had been calling him Philadelphia after his resemblence to the character in the Tom Hanks movie.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,840 ✭✭✭Luno


    Lamb or Maaaa. Doesn't sound bad but seriously when everyones shouting it at you all the time it drives you pretty crazy

    Spent the first few years in secondary school being called "Annie" and getting "Annie are you ok, are you ok" sung at me a lot, Annie being short for Anorexic as I was pretty skinny tho not actually anorexic. :(

    For the last 2 years in college mind you I have one lecturer who calls me Sarah all the time, my names not Sarah :/ and there are only 6 people in my year, he still hasn't got it right.

    Aside from that I just get called variations of my own name which I like :)
