Nicknames

[M Busby Airlines 7]

From another thread I mused,(its not very often).

Many years ago I ran a bar in London,now,who do you trust when your absent?

I picked the ugliest barmaid to be assistant manageress,she never failed me,always there,totally honest.

After a week or two she was christened with the moniker of SPANNER.

Defintion: every time she goes near a bloke you can hear his nuts tighten.

 

And before you ask,still friends.

 

Anymore?

[Handrejka 1,904]

My ex pupils had several nicknames for me they include ,ghost as I'm very pale and move very quietly, Tinky Winky as I used to carry a big red bag and Morticia because at the time I had long black hair.

[Phantom 2,533]

one of my nicknames at school was Skel-boy, partly because I share the first name of a well known character from a comedy tv show and also because I was incredibly skinny while I was at school

Nicknames are meant to be silly. Another of my nicknames from the neighbour across the road used to call me "Biaf"

[Canadian Paul 97]

I've had many nicknames in my short 20 years, but Canadian Paul is the most oft used and most obvious one. When I used to play baseball and was far paler (before California friend my skin and brain), I happened to be one of the fastest people on the team and hence the name "White Lightning." Not sure how mean-spirited the joshing was, so I tend to stick with CP most of the time lately...

[BrunoBrimley 86]

Many names have been tossed my way far far too many to list here.

 

Just last week I was given yet another one as I was expelled from a local watering hole and was advised to stay out 'drunken sot' apperently it is a term of affection.

Still, it could have been worse, he could have said "Drunken Scot!" Not a term of affection in most parts outside Scotland, and even then...

[TLC 9]

Erm, TLC is a nickname of mine, hence the login name. Unfortunately they are my real-life initials; it's not a homage to all of the TLC I give the 'laydeez' , and certainly not as a tribute to Lisa 'Left Eye' Lopes, may she rest in peace.

 

In fact, the nickname pretty much started when TLC became big in the UK, as people gradually put two and two together. A fan-f***ing-tastic time that was for me, especially as I was a student then, and we all know how wild and ker-razy and hilarious they can be.... I actually think the funniest 'gag' anyone managed was 'hey, don't go chasing waterfalls now!' Comedy gold, I think you'll agree. Especially the millionth time you hear it, it just gets funnier with each re-telling.

You can't mind it too much, as you've now mentioned it twice on this forum.

As long as you dont go chasing Lisa left-eye Lopez its OK.

With her demise are they now known as TC ?

You could be Top Cat.

Couldn't go chasing Lisa even if I wanted to, I'd have to go digging these days.

 

I did push for the TC idea a few years ago, but not only did it not catch on, I realise it sounded even more stupid than TLC. Plus a lot more difficult to explain!

 

Throwing "TC? It's from my initials, TLC, but in honour of Lisa Left Eye Lopes I dropped the L and now I'm Top Cat" into any conversation is unwise, and I suspect, a teeny bit uncool.
