Horrible things you were called at school

Bitches Be Trypsin · 01-12-2017 8:26pm

Fat was a big thing, and unintelligent or dumb. I think a person can only be called something so many times before they believe it. Still struggle with body dysmorphia and eating difficulties to this day.

I agree. It might seem harmless but it really ****s with your head.

Two spring to mind:

'Piglet' because my parents were guards. Annoyed the f*ck out of me at the time but looking back it was fairly funny.

Years later we moved house so I changed school and someone noticed that when I smiled my gums showed. So it was 'gummy bear'. I changed the way I smile in photos because of that. No teeth or gums showing. It's been 14 years. Maybe it's time to start smiling naturally again.

"Tomo the corpse" because of pale skin and acne.

Depends on the person. I went to school with Jewish twins who got mocked over the gas chambers, Hitler etc and they are surgeons now.

Stephen15 · 01-12-2017 11:36pm

The usual rethard and they used to slag me because they thought I had big head.

PandaPoo · 01-12-2017 11:40pm

Jay Leno because my chin is f*cking huge, you could land a plane on it.

Panface because my face is flat from the side so it looks like I was hit with a frying pan.

Pam because I developed faster than the other girls

like Pamela Anderson.....i was only about 14 at the time.

Shaq because I was 5'10" and good at basketball.

All said in jest, apart from panface... that was started by a group of older girls who had a huge problem with me and tried to make school hell for me. They really wanted to be hard and for me to be afraid of them. Love seeing them now, going about their sh*tty sh*tty lives. Ones boyfriend is in jail, ones dad is in jail, one has 4 kids with 3 different dads, 4/5 are on the dole, one works in dealz and scowls at me whenever I'm in there

ahh karma.

Surely you must know that you will never be as Irish as those pure breed nativists, having dual Irish parentage and living here since you were ****ting rusks counts for feck all. :rolleyes:

On the thread topic, one guy I remember called me a 'broken jawed c**t' (wore braces for an underbite), that was his only utterance to me in six years of schooling, wasn't really bothered just thought it was a bit funny really.

sligojoek · 02-12-2017 12:52am

I used to be called Blinky for obvious reasons. I still start blinking sometimes when I'm nervous. I found out about five years ago that the lads in one of the pubs have been calling me that behind my back since I came to Sligo, till one night the barman let it slip. He was handing me my change and said, "There you go, Blinky". He nearly sh1t himself. A real "Beam me up, Scotty" moment. It doesn't bother me in the least and nowadays everyone in there calls me that. In the xmas draw or the grand national sweep the barman just writes "Blinky".

One poor fuc!er used always have a runny nose. He was called "The double barreled snot gun".
One lad had an oval shaped head .. Spoonface.
Another lad had two legs and a back ... No Ar$e.
One of the girls was called E.T. Not because she was ugly but because she had Enormous T1ts.

LittleMuppet · 02-12-2017 12:53am

Poshie or The Snob. I was neither but I spoke well and owned horses. I went to the local community school so all the kids from my area / primary school were called posh or snobby by the kids from the social housing estate beside the school.

DaithiMa · 02-12-2017 1:02am

'Beaver' due to my prominent front teeth before I wore braces. The 'best' horrible nickname I heard was 'Ocras' for a lad that was a touch tight with money...

Then I lost a lot of weight and was called a weed a lot in secondary school

I think every school has at least one "Bug" "Bunny" or "Bugs Bunny" at all times.

Not defending it, just seems to be the case.

Hotblack Desiato · 02-12-2017 1:29am

I didn't get called names in primary school, but there was usually some other unfortunate to pick on. In fourth or fifth class a pupil was 'welcomed' into our class having grown up in England of Irish parents. He was 'English bastard' (semi-encouraged by the bogger teacher who wouldn't shake his hand without a glove) and, because he was doubly unfortunate enough to have to wear glasses, 'specky four eyes'. About a week in to this poor cnut's ordeal, some other wnaker at break time used a ruler to fire a stone directly at his eye, it shattered one lens of his glasses. NO disciplinary action was taken even though the school authorities were perfectly aware who did it.

This was a 'christian brothers' school, I suppose I should be glad my arse was intact,

Then I moved to their secondary. Instantly the homophobic abuse started, because having a brain and wanting to learn was 'gay' :rolleyes: it never went away and the school refused to do anything about it the whole time I was there. Just pretend nothing is happening - wankers :mad: Typical catholics, cover up abuse and pretend it doesn't happen

Cnuts the lot of them. I actually sometimers find it hard to figure out that my kids are keen to go to school - but then I remember they're not going to catholic school :pac:

Hotblack Desiato · 02-12-2017 1:57am

We're going to go out of our way (literally) and make sure that when our kids go to secondary, it won't be in a sex abuser school

The effect of this is that my wife will have to stay out of work for years to come, ferrying them between school and home

it's easier of course to allow them to be brainwashed, segregated by gender, and groomed for sexual abuse in the local catholic schools. That's what they're counting on.

Summer wind · 02-12-2017 1:58am

I was called Nelson after Nelson Mandela for years. All because a woman with a similar name to mine released a song about him.

Fare Thee Well to your wife on her ferry on that arduous journey to the island where there are no sex abuser schools.

Next stop. Utopia.

What a trooper.

Lorelli! · 02-12-2017 7:28am

I got called posh as well. Not sure why, my accent is quite neutral. Also when I was about 13, some girls wrote on a wall that I was a slut. I'd only kissed one boy by that time so not sure where they got that from. Just a word girls used a lot at the time to be mean I suppose.

There was a boy in school called Whippet because he was very skinny. I don't think that bothered him tbh. He seemed to embrace it. He answered to it anyway.

Would you not be better off homeschooling them ? That way they'd avoid any contact with people at all.

Sky King · 02-12-2017 9:19am

Nothing otther than my surname (which most people assumed was a nickname). I didn't mind at all.

There was a kid in.my year with huge lips.

They called him 'apocalypse'.

Heh.

Hotblack Desiato · 02-12-2017 9:41am

Some really intelligent responses there, well done :rolleyes:

There are 2 large secondary schools in this Dublin suburb - one RC girls school and one RC boys school. If you want your children to be treated like normal people - not segregated by gender and religion - you're s**t outta luck.

But yeah that obviously means I don't want my kids to have contact with people and I should homeschool them - I'm the one that's weird and our society is perfectly fine. Perfectly fine and not in the slightest bit weird and f**ked up at all at all. :rolleyes:

Sky King · 02-12-2017 9:45am

I went to a mixed secondary school for 5 years. Based on the experiences of some of my classmates (And thankfully not me), mixed schools do not automatically insulate children from abuse.

Nobody on this thread said they were home schooled - if they were, where would the verbal abuse be coming from?

I'm not a fan of it. People who want schools to be like workplaces - where sectarianism and sexism are illegal, instead of regarded as the norm - shouldn't have to give up their jobs and segregate themselves from others. Generally it's religious nutcases who are into homeschooling so their kids will not have contact with sinners :rolleyes:

No but it's a less artificial environment. My wife went to the girls secondary here and bullying and cliques were rife, and subject choices very limited - girls don't need to do science apparently.

Morpork · 02-12-2017 9:59am

I got called firestarter and ready brek (central heating for kids) on account of having red hair.
Jokes on them cause I'm going bald now.

Goth
Devil follower
Asked did I kill dogs

And... all I used to do is wear a black slipknot hoodie to school over my uniform in the mornings

I didn't even hang around with so called goths

Kids can be cruel

Saying that the main guy who did it is now dead from heroin OD

So F him and his family (they were complete scum) .. were horrible nasty people

Anyway ya names can hurt

I will always be checking in with my kids and somehow try to prevent bullying in anyway I can think of when I have them

I assume you don’t realize how superior you come accross? I went to my local all boys catholic school. There was no abuse and very little bullying. I would guess that is most peoples experience.
Enough with the big dramatic statements.

andekwarhola · 02-12-2017 10:43am

Depending on how rough your school, loads of people had some kind of embarrassing and often surreal nickname.

In a weird way, it showed you were accepted.

I have two school friends that I still call by a nickname other than their real first name. They're not insulting names just surreally unrelated to their actual names and we actually can't remember how they came about.

Bear - as I was big and didn't shave for a while

Shakin Stevens - for the same reason
Fat - as I was big
Nerd - as I was intelligent

I used to pronounce r's funny as a child, so my name of course had an r in it, so they'd just call me my name with the bad r pronunciation even years after I fixed it.

I'm sure there was others but I've just blocked them out of my mind. They used to prefer robbing my stuff and punching me tbh instead of name calling.

Not really horrible but I was called Julius, as in Julius Caesar, which lasted about a week because I looked like him after the school suspended me for having long hair and I got a haircut that a laurel wreath would die for. I'm far from being the fighting type but always stood my ground and fought back against the mods/skas/skins who hated us rockers. We were as bad in fairness (absolutely mentally tortured one lad who turned to heroin) but I'm friends with some of them now and the music crossed boundaries on both sides.

Ok. So you're an Irish Catholic-hating, "bogger" (which we can assume is a synonym for Irish in your case)-hating Englishman who has built up a persona of poor me victimhood and scapegoating to explain your own perceived inadequacies. And you're determined to pass this poison on to your children. How very evolved of you.

Perhaps, just perhaps, people pick up on the superiority complex and self-serving conceits which are evident above and can't warm to you?

Used to get called the FA cup by a cruel english teacher. Ear reference...
Hes dead now, died youngish... alcoholic... i guess he wasn’t perfect either.

Only teacher I ever told to go f@ck himself to his face. That felt so good. His punishment was to move me to the other English class,., to a much much nicer teacher. Learnt some valuable lessons there...
