Knew a guy whose surname was Mackin, in school he was referred to as Fudge Packin Mackin.
He got a summer job with Midland Waste and from then on was known as Bin Packin Mackin.

Good times.

This one's a humorous/ possibly cruel chant levelled at Ranger's goalkeeper who suffers from schizophrenia "Two Andy Gorams, there's only two Andy Gorams.."

The irony being that schizophrenia and multiple personality disorder are not the same thing.

A guy in school had really thick glasses, the ones like milk bottles. We used to call him Joe 90.

A girl in college had a weird way of walking. Her head wouldnt move at all. It was like she was on a conveyor belt. We called her, "The Floater"

There was another teacher (religion) who I didn't have, she walked really stiff, not sure what was wrong with her, she was called Robocop.

There were two caretakers, one of them was 'missing' (probably half missing) a finger or two, he was called fingers.
Because of this the other caretaker was called 'toes', though I presume he had the full compliment.

Someone reading this knows the school I'm talking about.

My brother nicknamed me 'Fat Little Percy'. I wouldn't have minded if I was fat and was actualy called Percy.

A friend of mines brother was kissing a girl outside of a junior disco around 1988. He dropped his trousers but she started to cry.

From then on he was known as Onion.

The funniest and cruelest one I can think of was a guy called Liam O Reilly got slagged because he had long hair. After years of abuse he got it shaved off and got a 1 all over. So people called him Chem O Reilly

A guy called Stephen in our workplace.

We used to call him Steven, emphasising the v.

My Da and his best friend (this man is now my uncle) were apparently good craic when they were younger, always out and about and regular lads. They'd slag each other and everyone else in the bar and stuff like that but my uncle was relentless once he got started, he'd keep at you and at you and at you!
So my now 50 year old uncle is known as "aids" around my town because you can't get rid of him!

How does your father's friend become your uncle?

Girl in college got herself a bit of a rep for her great love of slobbering the johnson, earning herself the rather unfortunate nickname (not to her face) B.J. Baracus.

Haha. Guy in my class had a bit of a sweat problem. He was B.O. Baracus.

Worked with a lad years ago who for some reason could not stand still while talking to someone he sort of shuffled about. Many thought it was becuase he was a dipso and did not want you to get a whiff of him, I digress his nickname was "the dancing queen".

When he was a kid he was sent to the shop for 20 Benson & Hedges, he was told if there were no Benson bring something else.
