Best Nickname?

[SephrinaX]

What's the funniest nickname you've ever heard for someone?

My husband used to work with someone called Wayne Bruce and people called him "Man-bat"

Lancaster.

The person in question was an industrial radiographer - known in the trade as bombers - and was not known for their speed 😂

The Wayne Bruce/Manbat one is pretty well known!

I don't get Manbat!

I don't get Manbat!

Batman's real name is Bruce Wayne.

So Wayne Bruce becomes Man Bat.

Yeah I think there has been a few Wayne Bruce's have had this issue! I have actually met this one so I know he's real

Another one I saw somewhere was a Janitor at a school who was short, fat and balding who was nicknamed Janny DeVito.

There was an officer in our battalion who was called "morphine" because he was a slow acting dope...
There was also a Craftsman in the LAD who had unfortunate "Ramboesque" tendencies. He was known as "12 gauge" which, with its shotgun connotations, pleased him mightily.
Had he consulted the army metalwork manual he'd have been less chuffed - it says "12 gauge metal is solid & hard to work with."
