What's The Best Nickname You've Come Across?

My BIL is called Grub. No one remembers why. It’s been that way since he was 7 or 8. It’s just his name now.

When I was in high school marching band and my ROTC-ass section leader found out I was bisexual he started calling me Patches the Ass Pirate (Patches = Pitch + Catch apparently) and I laughed harder than anyone so he was the only one that didn't use it moving forward 😂

😂😂😂😂😂

The name Charlie gets associated with Disney Channel Original series Good Luck Charlie a lot. don't know if that counts as a nickname

I asked my hubby where's that weird smell coming from, and he said it's Bin Laden... I was totally confused, he then got up slowly and closed the waste bin lid😂

I was Steve for a while because kids thought i looked like the guy from the hula hoops advert back in the early 00's

I used to call my son forrest gimp. And I would scream run forrest run 😂 years later he became 6ft4. He survived me as a parent 😂😂😂🎉

Once at work we had a guy lean on a E stop, so until the day that man got fired we ALL called him E-stop

My nickname is Blood, I got it because while in school, anytime I'd play sports, be in gym class or recess, someone else, or more often I myself, would end bleeding in some way.

I had a different nickname that was one that evolved from another nickname, both coming from my days at the skatepark (They were nicknames born from being made fun of for context). It started off as Quaker Oats, because to then I looked like the guy from Quaker Oats (I was like 14, and objectively looked nothing like him), which then evolved into Baker the Bong Ripper, because after a few hours of doing whatever, I started to get red in the face, and to the older kids who gave me the nickname, I apparently looked very stoned.

Back when I ran cross country in high school we had like a 30ft mound of dirt near the track for some reason I rolled down during practice, everyone called me Joe Dirt

Ok so i got this co-worker who nick name is mäkki which is the way we might refer to McDonald's but his name is actually a reference to MacGyver not because hes resourceful like him but because the series name in here was Ihmemies MacGyver and that begining means miracle man but can also mean weird man... And that dude is always telling something weird or doing something that he shouldn't be doing or doing something in such a stupid way that you have to be really intelligent to even be able to come up with something so stupid when even a simpleton would be doing it in a smarter and simpler way...

The other way is if an old person or elder gives you one, I have Red from my papaw and Corndawg from a sweet elderly lady that worked with me at renfaire.

I accidentally gave a boy a lifelong nickname by badly flirting with him in middle school. He had big, blue eyes that his face hadn't quite grown into yet, and I thought they were beautiful but couldn't tell him, so I told him he looked like a bushbaby in front of all his friends. 😅 Luckily he's a good sport and we remained friends for quite a few years. So sorry, Bushbaby.

My friend was a victim of crime, and the investigating officer then kept calling her for a date, so she nicknamed him Constable Weinstein

My brother's best friend was Splatman. 😂

I have literally only gotten two nicknames ever (minus like my “official” one). And those are “ninja” and “ghost”. Ninja was from summer camp cause I’d always be at the back of the group and I walked really quietly and people would end up going “Wait where is [me]?” And I’d just be right fucking there the whole time.
And then Ghost was from high school when I’d sit at the back of class and sometimes I’d hum or sing quietly and since nobody could see me, sitting in the back, some kids joked about how it felt like the classroom was haunted. (One kid then said “Why not Angel instead?” To which another kid replied “They’d have to sing in Latin for that.” At which point I started singing the one song I know in Latin)

When i was in middle school, the prince of persia games were super popular. There was also an unpopular kid who was mostly unpopular due to BO. He got dubbed Prince of Perspiration

I laughed so hard i started choking on a hair i didnt know existed.

Got crow. I kept walking into really cleana glass doors. So greeny was like "fuckimg bird"

Aids is funnier gtfo my time line boggle eyed mug

When I was like 14 a friend of mine grab hold of my my stomach squeezed it a bit an said i looked like whinny the pooh😅
I still have the nickname pooh 20 years later. At least I'm Swedish and pooh sounds like Pu and not like im taking a crap 🫠

My mom called us lice because we wouldn't leave her alone as kids

I was nicknamed Waterboy (like the movie). I'm 6'5 and 260#, I'll let you guys why I have that nickname 😂

Greg davies did this years ago, and it was much funnier,

I had a Sunday name when I went to my gran's house for dinner on a Sunday.
She bought mugs for me and my sister to use at dinner with names on them, but they were not our names.
My name is Lorraine and my sister is Sheila. So the closest name mug to Sheila was Shirley and the closest to Lorraine was obviously Penny.
Still makes me smile. I can't remember if the mugs broke or went to a charity shop.

Yeah never happened, but never let the truth get in the way of a good story. Or in this case a rubbish story. About as funny as cancer

my best friend's name is B.J. he would always whine and complain about kids calling him Blow Job back when he was in high school. I warned him that that was nothing and he should quit before I felt obligated to give him a real nickname. He did not heed my warning and now he is forever Blowzo the Clown.

The English men of Bristol are the single most moist, damp, and Cretinous individuals in the world.

I spent my early childhood in a small town in India where many, many people were exclusively known by their nicknames. Some that come to mind (translated) are Crow, cylinder, cooking pot, battery, boy-man. These were all grown men with jobs and families. I never knew what their real names were. Even kids would call them "Cylinder uncle".

In any group of friends you need a Jason.

Be the Jason!

I always, always belly laugh with Russell

Glazed donut sends his regards

Heard about a female pilot in the Air Force that got stuck with the callsign “Drone”, why? Because it’s an unmanned aircraft…

Suddenly "Life is like a box of chocolate" hits different 😅

It is often pointed out that in media, military nicknames always sound cool, but in reality they are always embarrassing. The only way you are getting a name like "Tiger" is if you are mauled by one.

One of the worst British comedians. Biggest let down. Went on a string of comedy shows seeing the biggest British comedian names. And Russell Howard stood out as someone I'll never watch again, whilst the others absolutely smashed it!

His whole piece was about his family, with several incest references about himself, oh and Politics. It wasn't just his material, he just looked like a robot, no real emotion and near the end of the show, you could see he was itching to leave.

Maybe it was just his worst show yet, and he's usually better. But I'd be surprised.

She should scream “dump, Forrest, dump!”

I would've went "Tommy the Poo" 😂

Some nicknames in my high school:
Carriage
Gay
Long Richard
Blue
Confucius (Another nickname for Carriage)

My nickname for years was "Sniper". Awesome right? It was because I was crosseyed, the logic being that i wouldnt have to close one of my eyes to take a shot 😭

I got a nickname that stuck with everyone except the person who gave it to me 😅 I'm okay with it tho, he calls me sweetheart instead

Was he ever funny? Genuine question

We decided on nicknames with my girlfriends at 8yo.... Barbara ended up as Babs, And genuinely I can't remember everybody else's, but we stuck to sounding close to our names...
So I ended up as Airhead.... Because my name is Erin. And I think my devotion to the front group was bar none, because even moving to another state, I still let people know that with my nickname 😂🤦‍♀️

You make 100 paintings, You are not a painter.

You cook 100 meals, you are not a chef.

But you took a Dump ONE TIME–

Met a girl when I was 14. At the time she was 4'11, and I was around 5'4. So I called her 'Hobbit'. 10 years later, we're both around the same height and there are people who know her EXCLUSIVELY as Hobbit. XD

The deadpan point. 😂

We call one of my close friends PBS or Peabes, which stands for Pretty Boy Sebastian. All the girls liked him and he was very pretty so it stuck.

The minute he said forest dump I lost it

Yeah so kind of embarrassing but for my sister's kids I'm uncle poopoo because pretty much every time I'd hold one of them they would poop after like 20 minutes got to the point where my sister would drive an hour to bring the kids to me if they were constipated (worked every time)
