Friends/workmates nicknames
« on: 24 October 2012, 12:51:29 »
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??

Brussels because his surname was Sprout ;D ;D
A school friend's surname was O'Shea so his parents named him Richard!!, he was always called Ricochete ;D ;D
We also had a Bomber, because he was black ;D ;D

Another lad who thought he was gods gift too women was nicknamed "Press stud"
And another one who had real problem with soap and water was nicknamed "Stig of the dump" or "Soap swerver"

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!  ::) ::) ::)  ;)  ;)

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??
