What is the best nickname you have heard and why.

I once had a mate who we nicknamed coupon {as in football coupon} because he kept getting filled in {beat up} every weekend.

apologies if this has been raised before as relatively new to AB.

I heard somone in a TV play with bipolar disorder nicknamed 'Otis', after the lfy company.

My woodwork teacher at school was Mr. Callear, who attracted the soubriet 'Crystal'.

My history teacher was Mr Makin, so somewhat obviously he was 'History in the Makin'.

My cousin has a friend called 'Banksy'...they call him that because since he got a girlfriend he only ever goes out on Bank Holidays. Weird one, but true!

A boy at school was called 'slappy' because in primary school another boy said god slapped all the strange things in the world together and came out with him.

I know, it's awful but it carried on all the way through secondary school and apparantly now, uni!

He's actually an alright guy as well... :)

[chimney]

Bloke I used to work with, we used to call him treasure, and he always thought it was an affectionate pet name but in actual fact we called him treasure because no-one knows where the f*ck we dug him up from

[Alibobs]

following Kick's response my husband gets called Rodney because his name is Dave.

Rodney is on golf tour at the mo with 20 guys who all have nick names - a lot of them you have to know the history. One guy is really pale & thin - he's known as Mr Dead or Skull!

. Another guy bears a resemblance to one of the cast of It aint half hot Mumm - La di da Gunner Graham is his tag.

One guy,John, has just celebrated his 50th and is shortly relocating to Vienna - he's recently been adorned with the moniker of Johann the Elder!

Two guys are quite dour and are known independently as Sad Simon & Dismal Dave. however they have been collectively described as The Chuckle Brothers!

Other names are Boycie ( he runs a garage), Cockney Wa***er, (self explanatory) Porn star (guy has a 70's style tache)

I'm sure there will be many more after this weekend!

A boy at school had sticky out ears and we called him 'wing nut'.
