    Know a fella called Whitebap - cos he had very blond hair. He's had that name for a good 30 years and a lot of people wouldn't even know his real name!

    I punched a T-Rex in the vagina cloaca.

    There was a guy I used to work with, his nickname was Ivy because any time you would ask him how he was getting on, he would always say "I'm up the walls"

    There was another lad we used to call The Clock. One of his arms was shorter than the other.

    There was another lad that would never go out, his nickname was Eternal Flame. We then got wind that he had a girlfriend and he used to go out the odd time so we started calling him Flicker.

    Trickcyclists say that giving people nicknames is a form of bullying.
    How does that make you feel?

    When we were growing up an old woman use to hobble into Mass every Sunday carrying two large plastic bags full of bottles, (More than likely to claim the deposits back) She always arrived late and the bottles could be heard clattering as she walked up the aisles.

    No one dared take her seat as she would move anyone that was sitting there, (No one would want to sit beside her because she stank of P*iss)

    She became known as the "Bottle Maggot" to every kid in the parish.

    Kids can be cruel. :p

    One of the lads is called 'bungalow' because there is nothing upstairs.

    Another was called 'gutter' because he was constantly looking up like he was inspecting gutters.

    Erm... oh she just liked popular chocolate bars

    I worked with an apprentice electrician years ago called 4 watt, he wasn't very bright.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,761 ✭✭✭pappyodaniel


    I know a guy who's nickname is Deesh, he's had it since he was a kid. It originated when he was about ten years of age after he joined a boxing club. He'd come home from training and display what he had learned that evening and he would make a noise when throwing punches....

    Deesh *throws a punch
    Deesh *throws a punch
    Deesh Deesh Deesh *throws 3 punches.

    Weird how nicknames stick.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,789 ✭✭✭✭BattleCorp


    There was a guy I knew who was called Jimmy Two Stroke.


    The background behind his nickname was that years ago he got a hand job from a local girl and his happy ending came very very very quickly................................. Unfortunately for him, she told everybody......................................... thus Jimmy Two Stroke. :D

    "Follow the box" and "Fallen Joe" are two nicknames for the same bloke in Carrigaline. He appears at every funeral, christening, wedding etc just for the free drink. He walks around the town after hours and early in the morn to find money people may have lost. A waster of the highest order.

    We used to called on guy I knew Thrush-


    He was an irritating c""t.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,933 ✭✭✭holystungun9


    Basher Bates. Let's just say he was a bit of a thug.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,933 ✭✭✭holystungun9


    Clus (or however you spell it) because he had big ears.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 34,298 ✭✭✭✭Penn


    Knew a guy called "Killer", but it was one of those ironic nicknames like calling a big lad "Tiny".


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 497 ✭✭akura


    I know a guy who's nickname is Gibbo


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,657 ✭✭✭brandon_flowers


    A guy in my first job lost an eye in a work accident, he later picked up the nick name as Cyclops.

    I worked with a guy in Canada for a few weeks who had the same but he had a much classier nickname.. Left Eye Lopez.

    I know a man called Pothole... because everyone is trying to avoid him.

    Halfa... because the young fella put his foot under a running lawnmower and now he has half a foot.

    Hands and Paws, twin brothers with huge hands

    The Scourge... self explanatory.


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,591 ✭✭✭blue note


    Martin Comerford (KK hurler) earned the nickname "Gorta" in college because he went through a bit of a dry spell.

    I knew of a girl who got the nickname "No Worst, There is None" after a Gerard Manly Hopkins poem. I understand she was ugly.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 34,298 ✭✭✭✭Penn


    Oh yeah, we had a lecturer that we called "Half-ro" because he had pretty big hair, almost like an afro, but was bald on top, so he had half an afro. A Half-ro


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 91 ✭✭PatL23


    I once knew a shifty lad called Father fluffy bottom!
