Teachers nicknames

    Following on from the 'worst teachers' thread, where some people mentioned nicknames given by teachers, what nicknames did your teachers have?

    In my school, there was a Freaker, Tex, Birdman, Wally, Scratch, Fanny (usually said with her surname), Ripper, and Plank. There were probably more (it was 30 years ago so I forget!), and then variations of their actual name which I won't include.

    So...what about your teachers?

    We had a business teacher we called Folio Joe. Whoever came up with that one deserved a medal.

    We had a Mr Pritt. That didn't end well.

    Not a teacher I had but there was a Handsy Hanson. Worrying!

    Best was a teacher who pretended to be very straight laced and proper but was allegedly caught by a pupil on holiday in the Lake District with one of the PE teachers, Mr Warner.

    It was discovered his first name was William and so for the next three years she was Willy Warner's Willy Warmer.

    Mod: Thread reopened.

    Please be wary of posting details that may lead to a teacher's real life identity being exposed. That sh1t ain't cool

    We had one called Spits. He would always have spit all over his lips and you'd get sprayed if you were in the front row.
    He was a great teacher though, I really liked him.

    Everyone referred to the vice principal as "Dick". Because his first name was Dick.

    We weren't very imaginative.

    There was one teacher, who became vice-principal after I left, whose nickname was Granny [insert her 2nd name here]. She look ancient, and was under 5 foot, so wouldn't be spotted until she was right in front of you.
