Externet Posted January 12, 2014 Posted January 12, 2014 Hi. Bring some smiles by sharing friends' nicknames you remember from school years. Or workplace if preferred. Funny, cruel, near offensive, ugly, nasty, from all of them around you along the years... Will let you start this time.
swansont Posted January 12, 2014 Posted January 12, 2014 College: Stouffer Navy training: Puft (it was 1984, if that helps place it) 1
Moontanman Posted January 13, 2014 Posted January 13, 2014 I was called turtle for a while, then snake, then Moondog, and now of course Moontanman...
Endy0816 Posted January 13, 2014 Posted January 13, 2014 College: Stouffer Navy training: Puft (it was 1984, if that helps place it) Thank you for making me feel better about my own age Navy Training 2002, D-Bone, D-money. Endy, came from Indy when there was naming conflict with 'myself' on a message board. Ordinarily untaken though think I have finally run into an inevitable naming conflict with the RL scientist Drew Endy. He's a good sort though and is welcome to it. I was called turtle for a while, then snake, then Moondog, and now of course Moontanman... I have to ask, does your nickname relate to the moon, a mountain or both? I have found assumption can do a number on nickname meaning. More than a few mistake my name for some sort of Endymion reference.
iNow Posted January 13, 2014 Posted January 13, 2014 He has a habit of running around naked at night... Or, at least he used to. 2
hypervalent_iodine Posted January 13, 2014 Posted January 13, 2014 I have had the same one since I was 4 within my family, which I loathe and will not repeat. I have also had a flat mate who used to call me K-dog, though since he left to travel the globe the most common ones have been Kyles or Kywala (as in koala). 1
Moontanman Posted January 13, 2014 Posted January 13, 2014 He has a habit of running around naked at night... Or, at least he used to. Well lets just say i am a bit more... careful now days... 1
Endy0816 Posted January 13, 2014 Posted January 13, 2014 He has a habit of running around naked at night... Or, at least he used to. Well lets just say i am a bit more... careful now days... Not sure what to say to this one, less sure what to say about iNow knowing this information.
Moontanman Posted January 13, 2014 Posted January 13, 2014 Not sure what to say to this one, less sure what to say about iNow knowing this information. I was known as "skinny dip" for a while as well... on a warm summer night with the full moon shining bright how can you resist the madness how can you dance but clad in the sky? 1
Externet Posted January 13, 2014 Author Posted January 13, 2014 Oops... English being my third language and probably improper grammar on the first post somehow steered the nicknames toward your own; which was not the intention; rather the nicknames your friends had, and worth mentioning for a laugh; but disclosing yours won't harm much the egos, I think. 'Venom' - this guy was unruly 'Half-a-cow' - a fat kid from a couple of grades below 'Nikita' - Looked alike the soviet leader 'Gumhoof' - had a problem in one foot Me, was called 'sad balls' after a football landing where should not. Then, 'Nobody' for a while like some western movie character Then, I was called 'Myway' for another while, as I do things...
zapatos Posted January 13, 2014 Posted January 13, 2014 (edited) When I was in high school I jokingly called a friend Pugsley (character on The Addams Family). Being socially consious she quickly grabbed my arm and said "Knock it off! Names like that stick!". To this day, people are still calling her Pugsley. And she is in her 50s. And she is still mad at me. Edited January 13, 2014 by zapatos
Moontanman Posted January 13, 2014 Posted January 13, 2014 Well i managed to get moondog hung on another friend, snake and turtle were high school and jr high school names, I have a friend we called yahoo way before there was a Yahoo, I still have a hard time remembering his real name even when we are face to face, yahoo fit him so perfectly...
zapatos Posted January 13, 2014 Posted January 13, 2014 A friend of by brother's was called 'dirt'. It was short for 'dog dirt', and he got the name because failed to bathe on a regular basis.
