    Used to know a lad and he was called Digit, reason being when he was with a woman he'd always ask her to stick a finger up his bum hole!!


    In school, 3 blokes used to hang around together and they were called Egger, Sausey (sp) and rasher!

    I know brothers of similar proportions but are called burgers and chips!

    I had a stroke earlier this year so my friends have taken to calling me stroker. Which sounds a bit dodge when they don't explain the story.

    I've got a few, but 2 that come to mind are Wrong Mouth, this guy used to always come out with stupid statements, that were impossible for instance, a Ferrari can go 0 to 60 in 0.0005 seconds.

    And Sponge bath, a guy that used to volunteer at the old folks home. Same fella was called wingnut too, cos he had big lugs

    In my group of friends it seems we find new nicknames each week, normally revolving around some drink related incident.

    Most notably:
    Tommy The Flag - kept getting the blue flag in go-karting cos he was so slow
    Hughie No Shoes - Lost his shoes on more than one occasion while drunk
    Sahara White (2nd name White) - He's on a serious dry spell women-wise lately

    We've christened a new lad in work Gaza, as he always looks like he's been out on the batter the night before.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,978 ✭✭✭Deise Vu


    I worked with a really nosy bitch called Ann, always reading what was on your PC screen or on a social night she'd be talking to you but her eyes would be darting all around the room, her ears pricked listening to other conversations. Her nickname was Antenna.

    A more cruel one was for a vertically challenged body builder. His less than impressed workmates christened him Dwarfenegger


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,281 ✭✭✭Valentina


    A man I work with is nicknamed Harvey Norman because he has no interest.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,902 ✭✭✭frozenfrozen


    Girl called Ghandi because she was as dry as one of ghandi's sandals....


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,913 ✭✭✭Ormus


    I knew a guy who had a bit of one his ears missing and his nickname was 18 months.

    One and a half (y)ears.

    Used to work with a chap who had two anuses - everyone called him Twintub

    Wo ist die Gemütlichkeit?



  • Registered Users Posts: 279 ✭✭MrMischief


    "Banklink" - One of my mates got this tag as no matter where we were or what we were doing he needed to "get to a banklink".

    "Hotnuts" - lad steaming his pimples with hot water spilt it all over his nuts and needed a visit to A & E.

    "Elevenerife" - If you were in Tenerife he was in Elevenerife - always a better story than yours.

    A girl i used to work with years ago adopted her new nickname from her new car which was a Fiat Cinquecento Her car was a "Cnut-to-get-into" and she was a "Cnut-to-get-along-with".


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 769 ✭✭✭dan185


    My brother was given a nickname of 'bubble wrap' by his friends due to his rather large amount of facial acne.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,039 ✭✭✭MJ23


    In around 3rd or 4th class, a new lad from Northern Ireland joined our class.
    Can't remember who made it up, but he got the nickname Semtex. He didn't seen to mind, we all had a good laugh out of it.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 23,718 ✭✭✭✭JonathanAnon


    I was in school with a lad called Peter Ennis... Unluckily for him, the gym teacher decided on tagging everybody's gym bag with everybody's name in the format <firstinital> <space> <lastname>.... It was more than a little embarrassing for him when he was getting in to his mother's car and one of the lads shouted... "oiiiii penis".

    Another lad was engaged about ten times, he's called The Lord Of The Rings.

    2 cousins who had slightly slanty eyes - The Jap and China.

    Cleo (for Cleopatra) cos she had one of those haricuts. Can't actually remember her actual name.
    Grease Lightening - greasy hair.
    Smiler - cos he's a miserable cnut.
    The Nettle - cos she's a miserable cnut.

    Used to call a guy Goujon in school because he asked us how to pronounce it completely out of the blue..... don't think he liked that.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 131 ✭✭Lon.C


    A friend was called Dry Leaves, cause his name was Russel.

    A fella I worked with was called Pork Chop, cause it looked like he brushed his hair with a pork chop (he had a greasy hair-do).


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 24,878 ✭✭✭✭arybvtcw0eolkf


    I've a mate named 'Cleaver' ~ earned it because he's a mortuary technician.

    I'd another in work called 'The Hitch hiker' because he lost a thumb in an accident.

    Another we call 'Sperm whale' because it seems every time he takes off his jocks his wife gets pregnant.

    Then we've 'The Murderer' because he knocked down a man and killed him..

    Then there's 'Skittles' because he knocked down two women (but survived).

    And we've 'The Lebanese high jump Champion' because he stepped on a landmine in Lebanon and was blown sky high!.

    Nicknames might seem fun. But there are many people whose lives have been marred by thoughtless nicknaming.
    So positive nicknames YES...derogatory nicknames NO


  • Registered Users Posts: 184 ✭✭twistedsoul


    I knew a guy called teapot because when you looked at him from the side that,s what his head looked like !


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,768 ✭✭✭pappyodaniel


    Surprised not to see Horsebox yet. Every rural community has a 'Horsebox' on their GAA team.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 17,733 ✭✭✭✭corktina


    I went to school with a guy named gasser...can't think why...

    I suppose "statue" would be quite common, I know at least one who barely moves at work.

    A friend of mine has something wrong with his spine making his shoulders mildly lean at angle. He worked in a nightclub! One night we were having a bit of a lock in and his colleagues were telling us that they call him "The Socialist"!... Because he leans to the left!
