Anyone else have people that they have known that just deserved a really good nickname, and when you finally came up with one it was good enough that it stuck, and the person actually answered when you called them that name?
I had a drummer in a band years ago that I started calling GOMER. Before long, the whole band, and even his girlfriend started calling him Gomer, or Gomes for short:sifone: The name just fit him.
Had another guy that was always acting like a badazz, and never did anything about it, started calling him TOUGHSKINS one drunken night when I was tired of hearing about what a badazz he was as he was puking, (after the courderoy (sp?) pants from the 70's) and it stuck.
A guy that used to work for me in Pittsburgh, LURPEE. I'm not sure how I came up with that one, but it stuck, and was just hilarious when you yelled LURPEE on a jobsite and he came running.
Anyone got anything good?
