    I knew a guy people used to call nilfisk - because he used to suck the fun out of everything.

    Some of these are really awful and cruel.

    Awful and cruel but isnt that really the Irish sense of humour? No matter how sad a story is, the Irish will always find a way to make a joke out of it, like my friend who we call meanie sees the funny side to it and goes along with it.

    My OH used to know a girl called Helen who had a really large chin and she was nicknamed hell of a chin. Very cruel.

    'Cancer fist' really shocked me. Then I got the giggles.

    A friend of mine from around Navan told me of a fella who used to have a terrible smell off him altogether that used to drink in their local.

    They christened him McGillicuddy.:)

    Another lad down Wexford way had been engaged five times but never made to the altar with any of them. He became known as Lord of the Rings.:pac:

    We used to call a girl in the year behind us Bumface. It got to the stage that even years after we have left school we still call her that and it takes me a moment or 2 to remember what her real name is.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,066 ✭✭✭✭Big Nasty


    Tall, thin ginger in school with pink face and yellow acne: Brunch.

    Chap called Hugh Ryan: Urine / Pissy.

    Lad with large ears: Wingnut / Lugs Brannigan / Noddy's Best Friend.

    Girl with large mamaries: Churns

    My friend knows a lad called Gongy (slang for a condom). Apparently it's because "his Da should have ****in' worn one!"


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 36 Steff


    Oh, and not a nickname, but worth a mention - I actually know a lad named Peter Foyle.

    What were his parents thinking...

    They are.

    I know a fella who lost a teste in a nasty accident, it was replaced by a metal one for some reason.

    he has been known as "Clink" ever since

    There's a girl who's best mates with my cousin, she has a chin that's honestly about 4 inches long. My uncle calls her Chin Laden to her face.

    Know this guy who can do this really ghey dance with a sweeping brush, everyone calls him 'Scuab'


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 100 ✭✭Mickjg


    Guy in school who **** himself at a party became known as Mush.

    The principle's last name was MacDonagh. His nickname was "The Knack". It goes back 30+ years. Apparently he does a pretty good impression of one!

    One of the teachers was called "Screech", after the character in Saved By The Bell. He looked a little like him. Pasty white with curly brown hair. Absolute legend though. Looked a little nerdy alright, but he had big biceps under his baggy shirt sleeves, which he rolled up when he got enthusiastic over WW2. He also married a drop dead gorgeous woman. We're pretty sure he's Superman. Honestly the nicest, coolest guy.

    Knew a man who was a regular in his local, which had personalised glasses for their most valued customers.

    He got married and his going-out nights were put to an end by herself.

    His glass languished unused on the shelf in the pub, and he gained a new nickname...Dusty.

    got the name after he told everyone what a girl did to him down on the beach one night.

    This thread has reminded me of some of the nicknames of teachers from secondary school:

    The Principal was an albino and was known as bunny eye.

    The careers development teacher was in a wheelchair so was known as hot wheels.
