KnightswoodBear Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 A boy the year below me at school had the misfortune of his parents splitting up. His mum started going with another bloke who this boy was seen with. When he was asked who it was he replied "it's my new dad". He was called Davie Ten Da's from that point onwards. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagtastic Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 Went to uni with a guy who got called ceefax. His go-to conversational topic was always any tv programme he had seen the night before or intended to watch that evening. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevie Aitken's Love Child Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 I have a mate who's nickname is Blue (his real surname is Green), and this is purely based on someone calling him Blue when he was in primary school. He's 28 now and I can't recall ever referring to him by his real name, it's always Blue. I also knew a guy called biscuit (surname McVitie) and a Morton fan who gets called Dougie due to his resemblance to Dougie Donnelly apparently (I've never seen it myself). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Confidemus Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 (edited) Another one I remember is a bird in my last work, who was dubbed "Arnold Clark". Quite a tenuous one, she looked like she was halfway through a sex change, so she was initially called mid op transexual, which was shortened to M.O.T, which then turned into Arnold Clark. ETA: f**k knows whats going on with the font on this one. Edited October 31, 2013 by Confidemus 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy had the initials CAT, which was turned into DOG, short for dogsbody, and so he was known as Bod. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raidernation Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 I taught a kid once who had bright ginger hair, was fairly robustly built and always wore a bright orange puffa jacket, hence Satsuma And, I have a very good friend I've known since high school with the nick name Squider. No idea why, he's just always been Squider. I know several people hve asked him over the years and every answer he's given has been totally different. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
