1874robbo Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 As the title says,whats the best nickname you've heard someone being called wether it be football related or work related. I heard a beauty today and that's what got me thinking about it. A guy i was speaking to called someone he knows Elevenereef and i said why do you call him that?,he said the w***** has always been or done something better then anyone else so if you've been to tenerife he's been to Elevenereef!!. I thought that was a quality nickname and could apply it to a few people i know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Doctor Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 From Urban Dictionary 1. tefal head In the 1980s, Tefal ran a series of UK adverts featuring a tall-headed scientist chap. His extraordinarily large forehead signified the extraordinary intelligence of Tefal's R&D chaps. Thus, anyone with a large forehead is a Tefal head. There were a few Tefal Heeds when I was at school. Celebrity Tefal Heeds! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Say What Again Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 A few I remember from school: The Phantom W****r (due to the fact he was 'caught' partaking in said act in the toilet - which the poor sod probably wasn't) Wullie wi the beak (he had a big nose) Dods McLick (he had a permanent coos lick at the front) various others from school come to mind for no reason whatsoever, but they do sound like my schools own version of the Anthill Mob when all named together. Divvy, Zippy, Mo, Stretch & Marbles. I know a guy who occasional gets called Stilts (tall, skinny, long legs) because it annoys him. I always quite liked that one.

He would follow you about without saying anything - you'd turn round and he'd be right behind you. He actually followed a bloke into the changing room in a shop once when he went to try a pair of breeks on!

269miles Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 In my younger days I had a mate at work who had the 'snip'. When he came back to work all the guys called him Jaffa. I asked another workmate why. He said , cos the guy's seedless. This one probably won't work in the written form but here goes. I was introduced to a guy once called 'coffin Bob'. I said , 'so you're an undertaker then ?'. H said 'naw , I've just got a really bad cough'. In my wifes office all part time staff are known as T w a ts. Because they only work Tuesday , Wednesday and Thursdays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tazio Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 My mum used to work for Kenny Waugh (Snr), who is a top guy incidentally. HE told a story about when he started working at Portobello power station on the night shift. He arrived to be told he was working with Jesus Christ. After a few questions nobody would say why the guy was called Jesus Christ and as Kenny hadn't met him he presumed the guy was probably a skinny with long hair. Anyway he was working away and heard a voice say "you must be the new guy. On turning around he saw a guy who was about 7'6" and big for his height. At which point Kenny blurted out "JESUS CHRIST!!!", and the guy replied "yep, that's me" Also my old man worked with a guy in the brewery called "The Screaming Skull" as he was bald and hugely underweight.

I P Knightley Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 There was also the Australia Rugby Union captain/lock known as "Nobody" because "Nobody's perfect" I knew a bloke called "Shag" because he'd never had one. Now a father of two, he still has the nickname. I worked with a Brummie and hardly anyone could understand him. He got nick-named "Charlie" after the cat in the old public information broadcasts. At the end of those broadcasts, the cat would always say something unintelligible and the boy would say, "Charlie says..." a phrase which we adopted for...whatsisname.
