Best nickname you ever heard.

Gosub

For me it has to be South African cricketer Monde Zondeki. His nickname was 'All Hands'. This wasn't because he was a good catcher of the ball.

All Hands Zondeki is fricken brilliant.

Anyone have as good, or better?

I swear this is true.......When I was working in Holland, I lived in a town called Brielle near Rotterdam. I was sharing a house with a couple of lads from the North East of England.
One of them had a thing going with this Dutch girl who used to work in a flower shop in the town. Every morning,and I mean every morning, really early, she would cycle round to our house, pop into this lads bedroom and give him a BJ.

Her nickname.........The Gobbling Florist
