Twinkle-Toes: woman who walks in a very funny, pronounced fashion

The Exorcist: bloke who sits in the pub and drinks whiskey all day (there's not a man alive can move spirits like him)

Rusty: Red-headed bloke who lives near the town I live; absolute legend too. Insults everyone and their families... but gets away with it.

Robo-cop/Psycho-cop/Sonny Crockett: any of the local members of the Gardaí

Tricky: another local legend.

Bosco: no idea how this chap got this nickname, cos he looks nothing like the puppet of the same name.

Peg/Donkey: local pain in the hole who I despise the sight/sound/smell of. Annoys the living hell out of everyone and is a mouthy git to boot.

Nobby: again, no idea where this nickname originated from, and I'm not sure I want to know

Eircom John (formerly 'Telecom John'): called John and he works for Eircom (worked for Telecom Eireann for years before that)

The Babby: again, unsure where this one originated from.

Froggy: not sure again.

Tuppence: so-called because when he was younger he was very small (as small as tuppence!); often shortened now to "Tupp"

The Vicar: a real gentleman, like a vicar, and also his surname is Vickers, so kinda sounds like vicar too

The N***er: so called because of his incredibly dark skin

Oxo: Was nicknamed the Ox at one time; since morphed into the name of a brand of gravy

Indiana Joneses: collective nickname for the chaps who own the Indian takeaway

The Turbanator: local chap who is incredibly intense and also wears a turban around the place (stolen from 'Only Fools and Horses')

The Boss: my late grandfather was gifted this monicker... So cool...

Young Boss: for some reason, I, not my father, have been given this monicker... I like it!:D

then of course the kinda generic nicknames: Lynchie, Colo, Doyler, Duffer, Clarkey, Heffo, Neilly, Philly, Owensy, Pony, Baz, Gav, Daz, Jimbo, Bladeser etc.

Does the old man with the long hair who used to sit on New Street playing the guitar and singing have a nickname? Actually come to think of it I havent seem him there on my last few visits to Birmingham. Perhaps he's kicked the bucket.

Robocop - One particular, relentless Garda.

Poison Dwarf - A tiny mate of mine who's as rough as a bear's arse. Name suits him to the ground!

Fatboy - Skinny mate who looks japanese despite not having a grain of oriental in his family.

Clit - A mate who once complained how everyone had a nickname except him, so right there on the spot somebody just said "clit", we laughed and made it stick cuz he didn't like it :pac:

Pleb - Dopey but legendary mate, you could write a book on the quotes and ideas that come out of this guy's mouth. He once came up for an idea for a console game - It would be like Modern Warfare 2 where you have to save Rooney in Russia, bring him back to England and then win the Premiership with him :P He was also flummuxed at how nobody ever "invented a jump-through proof window!"

Casper - Mate who has incredibly pasty white skin, we got a better name for him in the end and just called him Muzzla.

There's a guy who can be seen anywhere between Dalkey and Ballsbridge (in Dublin) who's kind of a combination of those two. He cycles non stop, never seen off the bike and looks like santa, has the big white beard.

I call him cycling santa. Not sure anyone else does mind. He has a dog too, which limps along behind him. Kinda sad really.

in college we have;
evil moustache guy-because he has a really long mustache,half of it is bleached blonde and he looks evil.
Smig the giant-big tall lad,has a goatee
Indie guy-wears beanie hats,looks like he should be in a band.
Girl with great skin and hair-self explanatory
