Horrible things you were called at school

Beta Ray Bill · 30-11-2017 11:24AM #1

So coming to a bit or a milestone in my life (as pathetic as that sounds), I'm getting my braces off in a few weeks.

I left it quite late in life to get them, I'm 34 btw.
My parents couldn't afford them when I was a kid.

The reason I ALWAYS wanted them was because, in school, all them years ago, people used to call me "Gopher Boy" as my two front teeth stuck right out (Just like Kevin from South Park)

I'll never forget the sting of that name.... Gopher Boy
Looking back in it, I laugh but only because my teeth are straight now.

Kids can be cruel little fu*kers.

What horrible names were you called when you were a kid?

Sgt Hartman · 30-11-2017 11:34AM

Bugs Bunny because I had prominent teeth. My teeth are nice and straight now

I was also called Frankenstein because I have a high forehead:(

Benildus · 30-11-2017 11:35AM

Goofy, for the same reasons as the above

One eyed Jack · 30-11-2017 11:37AM

"Retard" is the one that stands out really.

ectoraige · 30-11-2017 11:37AM

Brit, despite living in Ireland with Irish parents since I was 1 year old.

Taz....after the tasmanian devil in looney tunes

Because I can't talk clear

I went to school in South Africa, so some of the things I was called don't quite translate. Because I was an immigrant there, I got called "soutpiel", lit. "salt dick", because I had one foot in Africa and one foot in Europe, so my junk was dangling in the Atlantic Ocean ...

That's a very well thought out insult, if it wasn't so cruel, I'd be impressed.

Man, thats a long list. Well for starters, our school uniform was a green blazer and trousers, and I'm a big guy and always have been (broad and tall at that time incidentally) so my name in school from the age of 12 till we moved at age 16 was the Green Giant. Being also fat, speccy, 'nerdy' (hate that word) and incredibly shy and awkward, I got

Fat
Fatty
Chubby
Fat as a ****ing elephant
Fatty fatty boom boom
Blob
Big blob
Mr blobby
Tubby
Porky
Piggy
Lard arse
Tubby
Speccy
Four eyes
Fat nerd
Obese ****
Nerd
Geek
Poofter
Queer
Fat queer
Fat ******
Fat poofter

Thats off the top of my head. Imagine that every day for 4 years :pac:

Anyone remember "On The Buses" ?

I got Olive a lot

vg88 · 30-11-2017 12:02PM

Used a laptop since second year and got mocked a lot with it. Being called a "retard" and comments being made "I wonder how really stupid he must be to really be using a laptop".

Got called "laptop" a lot. Backfired on one fella one day mocking me for why I didn't bring it in one day, this chap was quite overweight, and I replied he ate it

. Never have I made a classroom laugh so hard

Fat Asterisks is the worst, I could take anything, but don't call me Fat Asterisks.

Because I wore odd socks to school once. ONCE.

'My number 1'

Seems innocuous enough. In first year of Secondary School, we did Business Studies but as it was a Gaelscoil it was Staidéar Gnó. I struggled in that first term getting to grips with the duality of reading something in English, trying to understand it, translate it to Irish and learn that off. The stupidity of it looking back. We had our Christmas exam and I failed. Spectacularly. 10% or something ridiculous. It was then that our teacher, who was an arrogant prick, decided to make a show of me in front of the class. He perched himself up on the edge of my desk and casually said that I was his number 1, he made me feel more of an idiot than I already felt and it was completely unnecessary. I guess his approach was to motivate me, to give me a kick up the backside, but it felt more akin to him bullying me, mocking my sh1t exam results that I readily accepted as embarrassing and actually encouraged the other's to laugh at my failure.

"If you were a girl I'd kiss you" same teacher, not to me, but another lad in the class, then he lost the rag for 10 minutes when one of the lads commented "I'd hope not".

Quality teaching there....

My German teacher once told me (in front of the whole class):
"Unfortunately Graham... You're just not intelligent enough to learn German"

Well f*ck you ye stupid C*nt

She nearly knocked me off my motorcycle about 5 years later, pulled up beside her... she was all apologetic, I told her she wasn't really wasn't intelligent enough to be driving a Car.
She didn't recognise me though with the helmet on and she probably says that **** to loads of pupils, so I didn't get the satisfaction out of if that I should have...

Oh well :rolleyes:

Beanntraigheach · 30-11-2017 01:02PM

For me it all started with a trip to the swimming pool. Afterwards, while getting dressed, someone caught a glimpse of my genitals.
From then on they were relentless:-

Tripod
Long John
Swing Low
The Swordsman
Biggus Dickus
Snake
Larry Holmes
The Elephant Man
etc

Seriously, being fantastically well-endowed has its drawbacks.

whisky_galore · 30-11-2017 01:15PM

Buddy Holly, because of the horn rimmed specs that were the only things you could get as a kid back then.

Ironically, thought to be stylish these days.

Princess Consuela Bananahammock · 30-11-2017 01:15PM

Called too early in the ****ing morning most of the time...

freshpopcorn · 30-11-2017 01:33PM

There used be so many names floating around school from other pupils/teachers you sort of took no notice of it. If a teacher/student didn't have some sort of nick name for you then there was a problem!

retro:electro · 30-11-2017 01:36PM

Albino, cos I was ice blonde and fair.

Cheese string, cos I ate them a lot. (at least I hope that's why)

Freckle face.

Pac1Man · 30-11-2017 01:43PM

A teacher called me a camel because I have long eye lashes, no joke.

And no, I didn't take the hump.

Kamu · 30-11-2017 01:50PM

I was called Santa in my final two years of primary school as I was big, jolly and fat and had the makings of a ronnie.

Didn't actually bother me mind....
*cries to sleep*

corner of hells · 30-11-2017 01:54PM

Tail gunner , because I was so pretty looking and effeminate it was assumed I was gay .

shovel · 30-11-2017 02:03PM

A flying ant landed on my forehead in the school yard.
Cue one of the girls shouting "he's got fleas"
So fleas it was for then on.
I'm fine now though.........

That's all it takes. I remember on the first day of secondary school, in the first class we had one kids name was called during roll call. His surname was Kennedy and one of the TV stations happened to be showing a season of Edgar Kennedy movies at the time. Some guy chirps, 'Ha, Edgar Kennedy!' and I don't think I ever heard his real first name used again for the next five years.
The worst thing I remember somebody being called though was Nogger because he had really bad acne.

Horrible things you were called at school
