Ah memories! Sitting here picturing and trying to remember the nicknames from my LC year of 1995... Can't remember half of them

Massey - legend had it he crashed into a tractor

Bulldog - Face like one

Paddy Putha - not sure why

Biff - Because he B'kept putting the letter "B" before b'random words when he spoke

Lispy - Had a lisp

Jer boy - Was actually a Kerryman but referred to pupils as "boy"

Savage - Not sure why

BA - Always thought it was after Mr Baracus but in fact stood for Bucket Arse.

TAD - Absolutely no idea why. But he had a really whiney nasally way of speaking and his nephew who was in my class was also named TAD in his honour.

Patch - He had the worlds worst comb over to cover his bald patch....

Tom Tit* - Short arse

Ollie Wanker* - Wanker

Frosty - Not sure why, the name pre-dated my time there. He was the chain smoking Ag Sci teacher. Permanently ashen coloured, skinny, wrinkled dude who looked like he was about to pop his clogs at any minute.

There is more but damned if I can remember them right now.

*Credit to Qwerty for remembering those two.

Fr Whistle - He spoke with a whistle on the letter 's' in words
Fanny - Principle (not sure but think it was because his hair was weaved up from both sides and met in the middle a bit like a....)
Hitler - No idea why as he was great craic and couldnt give a shyte if we learned or not (and it was generally not)
Big Dan - He was a big man
Hawk - He looked like one with a big crooked nose and beedy eyes
Biddy - She was an aul one
Bog - He spoke with a very distinct refined accent and earned the name bog for it
Tonto - no idea but he might have looked like tonto (with a beard)
Joe Beaky - He had a protruding upper lip
Mary Buck - Very prominent front teeth
Daffy - He also had a very prominent upper lip and his name was duffy
Wart - No idea why, maybe because he was small
Wee Butch - he was about 4ft tall and butch (and i think he had a finger missing too although thats irrelevant)
Wee Mickey - He was small (and a gentleman)
Ned - Science teacher who was slightly mad...Ned in the head.
Jimmy Knuckles - Known for hitting pupils over the knuckles with a ruler.

There were probably others but i cant remember them right now

Our history teacher looked like a man, talked like a man, dressed like a man so we called her...

Death- old guy who used to float around the place like a ghost, was as white as a ghost and spoke like there was a shovel loged in his arse. cuppa tea with that breakkie roll if you can give the distinguishing feature

Gerry- Striking resemblence between himself and a well known politician.

Sniffy- Looked like he had problem with cocaine in the past and moved onto chalk.

Jap- obvious.

Our principal had droopy wrinkly skin on his face, so we called him "Skull"

Maths and PE teacher who wore the same thing to school everyday - "Robbie Tracksuits"

Another maths teacher was called "Flasher". I'm not sure why, legend has it he streaked at 1 point, wouldn't believe it though.

In primary school the principal was a christian brother who wore the religious suit with the collar every day, black shoes, everything was black. He also had snow white hair. So we called him Brother Guinness. He was a bit of a **** though.

Worzel Walsh and Hippy Horgan

Chips Lovell · 21-09-2011 02:59PM

Basil - a brother with an uncanny resemblence to Basil Fawlty. So widely used that some parents actually thought that was his real name and addressed him as Brother Basil.

Pat the Rat - Just because it rhymed.

orourkeda · 21-09-2011 03:03PM

The Principal for my first three years in secondary school was a christian brother called Brother Lorcan.

He used to head the ball. Hence the nickname Jerkin' Lorcan.

We also had a french teacher called Ms Dempsey. She was flast chested and quickly earned the Moniker Dolly Dempsey.

I had Springy for English due to his walking style

Dude Mc Lynn, science teacher, tried to kill us twice with mad gases (still runs his pub in Old Market Street in Sligo like a teacher)

Rubber Tit (had a mastectomy, how this was public knowledge I'll never know. She also was an alcoholic ex nun and how that couldn't generate a better nickname, I'll never that know either???

Tommy of Nine, the caretaker with a lost finger

Moses, maths teacher with long hair and a beard who I saw standing on his head in a pub drinking a pint and reciting poetry the night after my leaving cert.

Wally the art teacher (don't know why he was called Wally but was a Cork man who regularly called his students "disgusting disciples" and "type" i.e. "you're only a type"

Was more but must have blocked out the horror of it all.

I had a lecturer in college and his Nickname was Joe 90 over the way he moved.

He had a stroke and everyone started calling him Joe 45

Mr Cleary - I think he retired the year I did me leaving, never had him as a teacher

phasers · 21-09-2011 06:02PM

My favourite was Drell, we had a teacher and she looked EXACTLY like Penn Jellette. whenever she left the room everyone said "are you staring at my mole!?"

We had frodo as well, and batman (she wore a cape). With That was another, difficult to explain... My student nicknames were better but I'm not giving them here cos someone might recognize them.

BlackBlade · 21-09-2011 06:03PM

had so many! a few I liked

Cock Eye Quin the cross eyed art teacher
Barrel Arse
little miss make up
Mr Bell-end

Dangerous Man · 21-09-2011 06:19PM

This is great!

I can barely remember them but we had a Geogrpahy teacher called Paddy Buddha, (don't know why;) a metalwork teacher called 'Dusty' because he was absolutely filthy; in primary we had a guy called 'Locker' (Loughlin-) then there was swampy jocks because, well, his trousers were fairly ill-fitting. Funny thing, I hadn't been to that school in nearly twenty years. One day a kid called at my door asking to be sponsored for something or other. 'It's for Mr Costelloe's class' he said.
'Do they still call him swampy jocks?' Kid bursts out laughing.
'YEAH!!! THAT'S DEADLY!'

He was, by all accounts though, an excellent teacher.

Oh, I just remembered more - a science teacher; he was called 'Superman' for no discernible reason.
There was a French teacher - a Christian Brother with slicked back white hair. 'Brother Bryllcreem.'
