Do any of you have nicknames for friends and/or neighbours? Over the years, we've had:

The Lottery Queen (she once won a few thousand and bragged about it for years)
Internet King (used to sit on his PC in the window - with no shirt on)
Father Ted (got a mass of white hair)
Roman Helmet (hair in that shape which is plastered to her head)
Mr Muscle (very petite and short man)
Honey Monster (huge woman with a moustache)
Big 'tache Slipper Man (no description needed)
The Mole (neighbourhood watch lady)
Barry the Bag (always shopping)

Ron the Serial Killer (totally looked as if he'd got them buried under the patio)

HideousKinky · 21/12/2021 16:21

The Ice Maiden (neighbour for nearly 2 decades who we never got to know any better because she kept everyone at a distance with a polite frozen smile)

Dollyparton3 · 21/12/2021 16:26

Halifax man (he's identical to the ads)
Asthma lady
Running man
Harry Potter
Husband came out with a corker the other day "jangly boobs". She's the lady who walks enthusiastically with no bra on. I knew straight away who he was talking about Smile

Dollyparton3 · 21/12/2021 16:26

Pieceofpurplesky · 21/12/2021 16:41

And how could I forget PC Neighbourhood Watch

flashpaper · 21/12/2021 16:45

We used to have Gob and Mrs Gob. The loudest people you've ever known. Could hear them "talking" with all windows and doors shut, would shout the cat in at 6.30am - well I say shout, he was probably whispering, and would toot their horn as they left the house at 7am.

virtuallyanass · 21/12/2021 16:45

Is this outing .. ??🤣 we have loads, I do know most of their real names but DH doesn't

Cap man
Crazy cat lady
The dark side ( immediate neighbours - this isn't a racial slur btw, it's a Star Wars reference)
The collective ( big family)
Barky dogs
I'd rather be at work man
The scotties (self explanatory)
Action man

OGenkiDesuKa · 21/12/2021 16:48

Yes I don’t actually know anyone’s names. Only what my husband had named them.

Angry zafira lady.
Tiger boss.
Football man
The wizards
Alan

FVFrog · 21/12/2021 16:48

Neil the grumpy neighbour, pain in the arse over an old/rotten hedge that needed taking down and replacing. We are now shagging each other Blush

Jericha · 21/12/2021 17:01

Flaps up (once saw him at a country fair with clip on sunglasses lenses)
Baden Powell (heavily involved with scouts, children adults)
Monkey man (league of gents reference. Feral.)
Jabba, now fatgirl slim (awfully loud neighbour, screams at her son)

We do also have some lovely neighbours who do not have nicknames.

Picklypickles · 21/12/2021 17:37

I'm still living in the small village I grew up in so most of the neighbours are "such and such's mum" or "whatsisfaces gran"! We do have a Van Creep on our street though!

Magnited · 21/12/2021 17:48

Another couple I have remembered from the past -

Mr Soul - aka Robert Soul aka "R.Sole"

Fiddler on the Hoof - senior position in finance and used to ride his huge cob horse around the local woods and always on his phone trying to do shouty deals all hours.

QueefofSheena · 21/12/2021 18:01

70’s porn star, he has a big droopy ‘tache and a fondness for being bare chested
Pink Hair
Fat Slag, a love rival stood outside her house screaming this one night for what seemed like hours
Spanish Tony
The Decorator, moved into a beautifully done house and greyed it to hell and back
Sophia Loren, who is lovely and very old-school glamorous
Teacher Bloke

JustJustWhy · 21/12/2021 18:09

The Actifries with the Idiot Son (haven't seen weird shaped head grandson for a few years)

Captain Birdseye/Hornblower

The Bastard Borrowers (aka the I'm-On-a-meters)

Cadburytwat

I would be bitterly disappointed if my nickname isn't anything less than The miserable/ugly bitch, Ice Maiden, Madam Whiplash, Grumpy Twat or similar.

TenoringBehind · 21/12/2021 18:09

Shouty phone man

It made my day when I discovered that another neighbour else called him that too.

TenoringBehind · 21/12/2021 18:11

Mystery couple. Keep curtains shut all day long and are only very occasionally spotted leaving their house.

LakieLady · 21/12/2021 18:16

My user name is what local dog walkers call me, because I used to have lakeland terriers, aka Lakies.

We have Longshanks, The Jockey, Nasty Cunt, The Martyr (Nasty Cunt's partner), the Pissheads, Needledick, the Screws and Mountain Man.

Wineisrequired · 21/12/2021 18:33

We have

The shaggers- find it really hard not to laugh when I see them

The parking twats- let’s park a huge white van in the street and leave it there for months. So no one else can park

The worst neighbour we have is one who seems to pick on women only . The police are watching him apparently. I’ve had a run in with him and he’s scarey . He’s always mending his car .

KloppsTeeth · 21/12/2021 19:26

I forgot, we also have “The Postman”. This guy is not a postman, but he does where navy chino shorts and walking boots in all weathers, often wearing a red top.

traka · 21/12/2021 20:15

We've got The Chav Woman who lives three houses down. Must be in her mid forties, drives a little Corsa around with music blaring

She's been seen drinking a can of Carling whilst wearing a cap on occasion too #classy

traka · 21/12/2021 20:16

@ShinyMe

I live THREE doors down from Noisy Lady (although I also have less polite names for her). She is fucking loud. She likes to have phone calls in her back garden that I can hear from inside my (front) bedroom with all the doors and windows shut. She has the world's most annoying laugh and voice.

Back when we had the clap for the NHS thing, she used to cavort about in the street in her undies banging a fucking saucepan with a spoon and whooping.

I think we live on the same street, I have a neighbour three houses down just like that
HoobleDooble · 21/12/2021 20:53

Mr NB (nosey bastard)
Mr & Mrs Notroy (live in the house where a man called Roy used to live)
Harry the Bastard
Meddling Ratbag (looks like the character of the same name from Viz)
Bert's mum (don't know their name but their cat has a tag with Bert on)
Number 10 (he's tall and thin, she's short and round)

I dread to think what our nicknames are! 😁😁

MrsSDK · 21/12/2021 21:37

Isobel-end - self explanatory
Chicken head eater - no idea; we inherited this from some friends
Chuff a lot - chain smoking neighbour
Sniff a lot - her ex who moved out then came back sniffing about for a shag
