Was listening to an article on a radio channel earlier when driving regarding the obscure and funny nicknames that are out and about for workmates and friends.

A couple of examples to start off with......

Thrombosis - 'cos he is a large slow moving clot.
K2 - a large immovable object with snow on his peak(ed cap)
Isaiah - 'cos one eyes higher than the other.
The eternal flame - he never goes out.

Any others??

Cheap Day - 'cos he always issued 'Cheap Day Return' tickets .... regardless of validity times!

Brussels because his surname was Sprout
A school friend's surname was O'Shea so his parents named him Richard!!, he was always called Ricochete

A lad at sea had had a hair transplant. His nick name - but not to his face  - was 15 2   Reason being, his head now looked like the rows of holes in a Crib board!
