We had loads in the RAF but one of the best was an armourer on our Sqn who we called 'Throm". It was short for 'Thrombosis", which is a slow moving clot.
We had a maths teacher we called "Soapy" because he was hard to grasp.... and "Tinribs" who was the very Rev. Ironside.
I used to get called Nitty when I lived in Basingstoke. My friends from up here look a bit bemused when they meet old ones who still call me Nitty I also got called Stumpy by some lads I worked with on the army camp - due to short stature!
Our apprentice is Dopey Dave Apprentice at Ford workshop is ball bag haha Mines boring Tev or Evvy or TomEv I'm sure I've been called worse though!
Mine were all boring but there are couple of football one's that i think are brilliant. Duncan Ferguson - Duncan Disorderly, after he got locked up for GBH and Fitz Hall who is known as One Size
A bloke I once worked with was called sweet n sweaty due to the fact he tried to cover the fact he didn't wash by using extra deodorant
Another bloke was called poachem eggems ,because he had poached eggs for breakfast every day and english not being his first language made him say poachem eggems
We had a sparky , his name was T V Jones, never new what the TV stood for, then a new lad turned up who was the spitting image of TV but shorter , he got called portable.
I always felt discriminated against by not having a nick name. I mean I've been called Johnny and John-Boy, but seeing as my name is John, not that imaginative really. I think I've mentioned this one before, a chap I worked with was known as Fluid, Fat Lazy, Useless, Idle, D**khead.
