Jan Vojáček Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Just got thinking today about nicknames,what's the best nickname you've heard. My brothers PE teacher Mr Mcaveety (No idea if that's how you spell it but its how its pronounced) was spotted at the Avicii concert in Glasgow. He is now universally referred to as Mr McAvicii. My favourite is 'One size' which is of course Fitz Halls nickname. What other classic nicknames to the P&B community know? Meant to add I had a history teacher called Miss Barr,she taught us about pre war Germany and by the end of the term was referred to by almost everyone in the class as Kaiser Barrhelm,instead of Wilhelm. Quite liked that one! -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Audaces Fortuna Juvat Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 When I was in training there was a guy at the college with practically no neck and he got called Davy Beads because, as we all know, beads make up a necklace. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ginge123 Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 My Dad works in the building trade and a few years ago worked with someone who's nickname I like to think helps to show the ignorance of Harthill 1970 - present. He'd lived in South Africa as a kid and when he came back was referred to as Abo. As in aboriginal Australian. The guy had tried to correct them but no one would listen. Oh yeah, "Abo's" workmates were called "Stinky" and "Poo". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boghead ranter Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 There used to be a guy played basketball against me, who was referred to by his team-mates as mastermind. I asked one time why they called him that, I was told that it was because at the end if every game, "he had 20-odd points and no passes" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICTJohnboy Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 There was a guy in Inverness who used to walk his dog past our house twice every day. On one occasion the dog spotted a cat on the opposite pavement and made a beeline for it, pulling itself free from its master's grasp. Unfortunately one of Inverness's many boy racers was coming up the road at that time and collided with the dog which sadly, did not survive. I don't know what the guy's name was before the accident but from that moment on he was known in our neighbourhood as "Douglas" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tongue_tied_danny Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 A guy I know with sagging jowls is nicknamed Bag-Pus. An old mate of mine left his works van outside his house one night. Some local neds emptied one of these dogshit bins over it. He sprayed all the shit off with a power hose but some of it got into the air vents and there was this strong stink of shit wafting into the van. At work he was nicknamed Shite Van Man. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wirez Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Worked in a factory a good few years ago when a guy got his hand trapped in a press and lost a few fingers and part of his thumb. After some considerable time off recovering he was welcomed back with the affectionate title of Clock (big hand, wee hand) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Audaces Fortuna Juvat Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Came into contact with a young chap called Bright through work, but he certainly wasn't, so we called him Novary for ages. My mate picked up a classy young girl one night many moons ago when he was absolutely steaming. Back in chez Ballysillan he couldn't get it up, so he used the handle of a Stanley screwdriver to pleasure her. We called her Stanley for a few years before she found out why. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
