Dee Dee Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 A former colleague of mine, from the army, was unfortunately and rather humorously known as fags and shite. As that's what he smelt like. Special mentions for Pies, The Arse, Undies, Jobbyeyes, Teddybear eyes, The Shepard's Crook or The Human Question Mark and Hairyhands. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And apparently there was a racing driver named Wilson Cobbs. A pal called Begbie because he is always smoking and loves a scrap. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weegie Par Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 They are both incredible. Well played, folk you know. some of these nicknames are inspired. Highlight so far has been Janny De Vito Seconded! That is without a doubt the best nickname I've ever heard!Wish I could say I came up with them! In saying that, I've never actually met Manbat, but I've no reason to doubt it. Even if it's not true it's still a cracker! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tinkerbelle Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 The Jackson 5 were a big group when I was younger. As I was the smallest of my then group of friends, I was given the nickname of the smallest member of the Jacksons. Back in the good old carefree days I was affectionately known to all as RANDY!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
11thHour Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 (edited) One of my mates gets called Cherrif, nobody can quite remember why but everyone assumes he's black when in fact he's a big, bald white man. Another gets called Stumpy on account of his short stature. Ragy as his name is Gary. Another gets called Slick as he used to always slick his hair back or Shez because of his second name but from time to time I refer to him as Shezmerelda cause he can be a little bitch. ETA: He also got called Shezeguet because he is shite at football. Edited November 1, 2013 by 11thHour 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
