Horrible things you were called at school

Beta Ray Bill

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?

'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.

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:

"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".

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

Anyone remember "On The Buses" ?

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

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