Nickname
The Dutchman
Member Posts: 811 ✭✭✭✭
Has anyone ever given you a nickname or have you given someone else nickname? I'm thinking of giving my grandson one, Ohso. Which is bear in spanish or just bear. He reminds me of a little bear, the way he moves around and makes baby sounds.

i kinda like P-BO[:D]
Mine is Dutch. I grew up in Lakewood,Ohio in the Slovak neighborhood. The old timers new that Germans were called Deutsch. Since I was the only "German" kid in the neighborhood they called me "Deutsch" which sounded like Dutch. Still called Dutch. [^]
I especially like telling this to kids who come up - I let them fly my kites, and have fun with them. When they go back to their Moms, they always tell her "The Big Ugly Guy....." and then the Mom remonstrates them "DON'T CALL ANYONE THAT!" Then the kid gets frustrated - great fun!!
Anyways, some friends started calling me BUG, and it stuck.
Mine is Turbo.
That's the name of one of my dogs in the past [:D]
Tricky
Kissyfur
Lil Craig
Alleyb
But most know me as Liquid
Gynecologist - A spin on my hard to pronounce last name
Cola - Same as above

It ain't like the movies where you come out the other side of it with a new convertible.[V]
At my first real job i was working under three bosses and i was thier only helper. So they all called me #1
I lived in a small town, so it didn't take long and the whole town was calling me #1[:D]
Long story.
Doug
"Dr. Dre", dubbed that by my former coworkers, due to my vast knowlege of child development information, plus the third thru fifth letters of my first name....
"Zoot" from my love of "Monty Python and the Holy Grail." She was the babe who lived in the Castle Anthrax, with her same-and-identical twin sister, Dingo (which is my best friend's nickname).
I was called Hawkeye for the longest time after Hawkeye Pierce from Mash cause I always took time to smell my food before I ate it.
Atleast I'm not the only on that smells their food before they eat it!!
I have way too many nicknames! I'll just name a couple.
Rollover, cause my last name is Roll and I have rolled a couple of vehicles.
Beef, cause I ain't too small.
Dinger, My buddies gave me that one, Cause if I could see it, I could hit it.
The rest a would probably get censored(Hehehe) so I won't even bother!

I got a friend with a good nickname is called Lilkracker cause she is short and her last name starts with Ritz. (really surprised at myself for remembering that one) I always smell my food before I eat Hence why I never accidentally eat something spoiled and if it doesnt smell great I wont touch it.
I can't help but to ask...but do the guys at work have any first-hand knowledge to give you those nicknames? I mean, how in the heck do they know??? [:D]

I think Cubs is just trying to boost his own ego (no offense intended) But I do believe that most people that brag about something like that are lieing. Never heard of a well endowed italian before. although personally I do NOT want to know either way.

Ha, no one at work has seen it, seems every female at work is attracted to me, that's why they call me that. It's an assumption.
Never heard of a well endowed Italian huh? Ha!

Well When I worked at boston Market all the girls there hit on me all the time but I can assure everyone that I am not and I am german.
Didnt mean to insult you I just thought id poke fun of someone else besides myself for a change.
I didn't give myself the nickname, they did. And with a nickname like that, I'll keep it!
Wolf- because my eyes turn from green to a wolf like gray somtimes.
Thats what my nickname should be I have the wierdest eyes. halfway between blue and green on the outside with a large yellow ring in the center. As a matter of fact the first time I was pulled over for a traffic stop the cop noticed it and thought I was high or something.
On a sidenote Cubslover I cant blame you there if I had a nickname like that id go with it. Although I did hear something like that once a girl in bradford thought she saw me in a movie once and my name in the movie was Long-Don Slivers. A total crock of crap but funny nevertheless.
I've been called "tripod". For the life of me, I don't know why. Joe
