My parents had a friend in the 70s called N**ger Doyle, because he was a bit suntanned. Different world back then.

I used to work as a civil engineer in England and there was a labourer guy I hadnt seen. He was referred to as "Landmine" by the gangerman on the day work chits.
I took it that it was slight against the nationality of the dude until one day a silhouette of an ungainly rake started walking towards us from a distance, as he got closer his ripped clothes, filthy face and utter dishevelment became apparent and he was shouting in a jerky inaudible English.

What's fecking this coming towards us Joe?

"That's Landmine. He always looks like he's just stepped on a landmine. Great grafter though"

The lad as it turned out was from Spiddal. And he was a pure grafter.

Friend of mine earned the nickname Slippers when he was 13 because he was seen wearing a pair of slippers. Decades later it's still all he's known as.

A fella i worked with was called cabbage and he had a little brother named sprout.
Another fella was called nxgger because he had a bit tan, everyone called him that and no one batted an eyelid, different times then. A fella in my school was called Big Foot because he had small feet, another lad was called Floppy cos he was with a bird and couldnt get it up... Two brothers that worked for my dad were called itchy and scratchy cos they never washed themselves. Another fella was called Onslow after the slob in keeping up a appearance programme.

A lad in school was christened casúr because someone decided his head was shaped like a hammer.

One lad called Michael who was a real know it all and he had a big nose so his nickname was Micky Knows.

Another mate bit slow upstairs but built like a block wall so we called him The Cavity.

Two of my flatmates contracted crabs when we all lived together in college. They had to tell everyone else in the house, in case it had spread. To this day, the two of them are called Itchy and Scratchy.

Knew a kid called Study because one day he said he had to go in to study. One comment - tagged for the rest of his childhood.

There was a teacher in the school I went to known as Indicator because he had a facial tic.

This was back when a Wagon Wheel was the crème de la crème of lunchtime snacks, not a dodgy country song.

Just remembered an old colleague I had called "The Hamster". He used to eat in his cubicle, and had an unfortunate way of eating, which involved stuffing as much of his lunch into his mouth as would fit, and chewing it so that his cheeks puffed up.

My brother Rory is called Ropey at home, because he's long and lanky. He was a horny bastard before he got married, so was called Rapey by his mates. No such thing as PC in rural Ireland.

A teacher in my school wore glasses and the lens were shaped a little bit like a 50p piece..

My dad was born in the late 50's. Growing up, a friend in his circle has pronounced lips like an African person.
The group (and even some teachers in school) called him "Nigger Murphy" as a nickname. Imagine calling someone that now!
