    Worked with a guy everyone called Gimp. Not even The Gimp. :/

    Reminds me, I use to babysit this kid when he was around 5/6 and he was telling me about his friend in school and his name was Igor. The little fella kept referring to him as The Igor. I remember trying to explain to him 'you can't call him that, drop the The! It's just Igor!'

    You obviously went to a very nice school.

    There was another guy called 'The Feeler' because someone once accidentally sat on his hand. There was a female teacher called 'Lurch' because she was very tall (and admittedly bore a slight resemblance to Lurch from the Addams Family). Secondary school was a very unforgiving place.

    There were loads of nicknames in my school and nearly every bloke on my road had a nickname that was a unique/exaggeration of them in some way/insult. I can't share them because most of them own the name now and some of them still go by them :)

    One of my sisters knew a guy called "Hoover".

    In his teen years, his brother and mother walked in on him attempting to pleasure himself with the vacuum cleaner. Never knew which brand, but always had a funny mental image of it being a "Henry" hoover.

    The brother obviously wasn't going to keep that incident quiet and I'd say everyone within a 2km radius of his house knew about it.

    There was a player that used to play for Bohemians. His name was Darren Mansaram. He was black. I've heard him called Black Betty.

    The reason for this was a chant that was created in his honour. It was that song black betty but they chnged the lyrics from "Woh Black betty bam a lam" to "Woh Black Darren Mansaram"

    Had a friend called Wrong Mouth because everything he'd say would be incorrect.

    Worked with a lady who's job involved going out to businesses. She never went out, staying at her desk - she became known as The Olympic Torch.

    Stutts - he had a stutter.

    It was hardly Pissy Fletcher from Mullingar was it?

    Fella of about 30.

    I was acquainted with him in college, we knew him as either 'pissy' or 'piss'. No idea where it stemmed from and never had the courage to ask. He was a volatile individual.

    Imagine your own mother catching you trying to blow your own arsehole out of it with a hoover. Dirty F*cker.

    I had a good laugh at that. I might even try it ater after a few jars.

    I knew one of them too. He called everyone 'Horse' so that became his nickname. The poor lad died in a car crash in his early 30s.

    There's also a woman I work with who calls everyone 'Luv' so that's her nickname. Very inventive, eh?

    A friend of our cousin was planning to go to Australia in 2010 for 6 months. He flew over, got home sick and was back after a few weeks. They christened him Boomerang.
