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??

Had a Boss we use to call Bolt Neck, He was 6' 7 with a good head of hair that was totally flat on top where His head would rub on top off the Car roof when driving. He also had this ability to move his head in all sorts of positions whilst walking under doors without ducking.
Friday nights after work in the Pub was always fun, as the more He drunk the more chance there was of him knocking himself out on the door frames towards the end of the evening.

Many years ago I worked with a bunch of scousers. There was a girl they called Flash.

Also knew a lad called Fudge some years ago. He had large hands.
Perhaps not the most politically correct of explanations, given the current news climate, but if you are old enough to remember the music of the TV add of the day....
A finger of Fudge was jus.......... You know the one...... :-X

Dangerous Dawson
A sparkie by trade who definitely knew his onions, but god help you if you were on site with us and had no electrical knowledge where his "temporary" supplies were sometimes concerned.
He was also in to his mythbusters in a big way in that he could make the bottom of a beer bottle explode (quite violently) with the palm of his hand, and he also knew of several ways of how to blow $hit up using materials you wouldn't give a second thought to.
I talk about him in the past tense as he is now dead, however it was a mental issue that took him rather than the crazy $hit we used to do to each other.
RIP Gaz

Man-boy: a lady loving lesbian who was once in the same workplace as me. If you saw her you'd completely understand.
Spaghetti arms: someone at work who isn't very strong! The less said the better!
Fat head: speaks for itself!
Smelly morrelly: said in an Italian accent (surname Morrell and he was a minger!)
Gee Gee: Gay Gav
Not many can be written down tbh!

Wingnut - Where his ears stuck out.
Dirt Box - Where he smelt of p.
Chopper - Part of him was well built!
Foggy - A youngster who was thick and wet.
Pog - P. O'grady
Bloater - All 30st of him.
And quite a few other that would fall foul of the swear word rule.

We had a new head of department start and he purposely changed his title within a couple of weeks...

-
Cliff / Cliff top. A guy at work with an unreasonably large flat forehead.
Allan or Al, pronounced/shouted as "OW!" or "AAAAAOW" As if in a great deal of pain. He was obviously rather accident prone.
He left the company, to be replaced by...another Allan.
Another Allan has no idea what we're on about. So has developed into "Bloody Al" or "Fa*kin Al"
..or when stitched up with an awkward job "I'll Al do it" "Al do it all" or "Al do it all agaaaain"
-
A bloke in the next room to me was called Cope
Needless to say he soon became "Canny" ;D
-
Two blokes I worked with on site, " juanita" as he had only one front tooth left and "Ilene". Ilene was working in a trench years ago and got struck on the head with a digger bucket. After the accident he always held his head to one side. Not only that, his hard hat would also be on a slightly more of a tilt than his head, so highlighting it more. He was a telescopic forklift driver last time I meet him and if any of you know these machines, you are able to tilt the body to allow a straight lift on uneven ground. He would tilt the body for normal use on even ground!!

Knew a guy years ago and everyone called him 'Sponge'
Don't even remember his real name, but found out it was because at school he would always have the sponge and custard for pud.
This nickname had followed him from school to his 20's. He's probably still called it now.
