    Guy in work swears he knew someone whose nickname was Scary Hairy Non-Dairy Mary. I believe she was a bit aggro, quite hair, and lactose intolerant. Or I heard a guy called Kit Kat. Missing a finger.

    A guy who works with my friend wears an overpowering amount of aftershave and can apparently be smelled from a great distace.

    His colleagues call him Sylverster Cologne.

    On one of the first days of entry into secondary school, an unfortunate young fella, for some unknown reason, decided to tell one of the PE Teachers that he could not play soccer as he had three balls (how this would impede his participation, no one knew). Anyway he was overheard and for the next six years we called him ET (the extra testicle).

    Which reminds me of the guy that lost a testicle playing Rugby at my school. We used to call him 'Mono', because he he went from stereo to mono during the course of one tackle crushing er.. tackle...

    I seem to remember Captain Mark Phillips - Princess Anne's first husband - was nicknamed 'Fog' or 'Foggy' by the Windsors, as he was thick and wet.

    Coming as it did from a family of plug ugly inbreds, that had to smart.

    I swear this is true.......When I was working in Holland, I lived in a town called Brielle near Rotterdam. I was sharing a house with a couple of lads from the North East of England.
    One of them had a thing going with this Dutch girl who used to work in a flower shop in the town. Every morning,and I mean every morning, really early, she would cycle round to our house, pop into this lads bedroom and give him a BJ.

    Her nickname.........The Gobbling Florist :)

    Know a guy whose nickname is "Potholes", because everybody wants to avoid him when he has drink taken.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,815 ✭✭✭SimonTemplar


    One of the teachers in secondary school had fairly prominent facial hair so her nickname was whiskers.

    Another middle aged teacher had a beard, a bald patch, and a long face so his nickname was rabbi.

    Another teacher who was at the school for decades had a nickname "rocks". I'm not sure why. But when his son started in the school his nickname was pebbles.

    I worked with a father and son before one was called digger the son was mini digger.
    Another lad was called "blackie" because he didn't like travelers, we also used to put ads in the buy and sell advertising traveller related items for cheap or free, old hi-aces, donkeys, piles of scrap metal. It was great fun seeing him plagued with phonecalls the day the buy and sell came out.
