The hoak.

Always picking his nose.

I suppose you need to know what hoaking is for it to make sense.

I like it when people post the reason behind the name, I do wonder how some of them got their names.

Long Tom (very tall FCA Captain), Shine, Dicky Rasher (because he was as thin as a rake), Murt, McCavity, Dingle, RightSo (his favourite phrase), Trom agus Eadroim ( an Irish teacher who had two leathers, heavy and light), Fab Vinnie and a few other psychopaths and antisocials, including several alcoholics (Butsey)

Our science teacher , doctor bunsen, he loved the bunsen burner, would stare at it lighting for ages then snap out of it, really unhealthy relationship.

Carebare - he was a twat

Some of us most certainly do. They would put the ones here to shame because we are the mature adults of course :pac:

I started secondary school in 1988. There was a teacher nicknamed "Paki", apparently because he had spent his summer holidays in Africa (!) at some point in the early 1980s and had arrived back with a deep tan. My much older brother called him this name when he was in the school a good seven years before I started there.

Said tan was nowhere to be seen in 1988, yet he was still named "Paki". And he was still called this when I left in 1993.

The year before I left, a teacher with a full head of curly hair arrived back after the holidays with a blotchy bald head, obviously recovering from some illness. He, to my knowledge, was never given a nickname.

The early 1990s was a significant turning point in Irish culture, tolerance and attitudes, all for the better.

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?

Gunter/Doc/Bertie the "Beasht"/Daffy duck/juicy Lucy

Peacock due to his walk and constant preening of his hair in anything reflective. There wasn't much hair. He was quite old.

Knightrider, due to kids being evil bastards - in a motorised wheelchair with multiple LEDs on the control panel, when motorised chairs weren't common.

Two sisters who taught the same subjects known as Witch and Bitch due to their looks and demeanour respectively.

Two teachers with the same surname were known as Ms Surname and Bimbo Surname due to having a 1980s bleached perm. In my older siblings era she was known as Bubbleperm Surname which was a little less nasty.

Our maths teachers nickname was “Fags” because he was a heavy smoker and reeked of them. Little did we know that he was also gay.

One teacher had fat fingers so was called Ten Thumbs.
