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)

'Angry dad'- lives opposite. Ranted and raved at my step son once for throwing snowballs near his winnebego.
' every day I'm hoovering'
(Said/sang to the tune of Everyday I'm shuffling) our next door neighbour literally spends hours upon hours hoovering all weekend, every weekend.

Fire starter - fires every fucking weekend. Reported him to the council and it seems to have stopped but could also be a coincidence because of the weather

The witch - his partner who is nice on the surface but always says something offensive or judgemental. Also known as the jellyfish. She said something rude about my newborn so I hate her on principle.

Also, our two year old's first word for neighbour was 'neigh-bow' (rhymes with rainbow).
So now all neighbours in our street of 8 houses are called neighbows (even when said 2 year old is not around!)

Diversion · 20/12/2021 21:56

Miss Piggy, she and her husband used to sit at their bedroom window constantly watching people and yes, she did look like Miss Piggy. The fit family, mum dad and the kids constantly out and about on bikes, in walking gear, going jogging and always all together. I also used to name people at the gym. Mr Orgasm because he grunted and made so much noise lifting weights, there really was no need and Little Miss Perfect, immaculate gym gear, hair and makeup both before and after her work out

ElephantCup · 20/12/2021 21:56

The hipsters, Brian the cunt moved out, new cunts moved in to Brian’s house. He is now called “not Brian the cunt”. The hipsters used to really annoy me, but they are ok now, I find NBTC much more annoying than them now. If NBTC moves away, I’ll probably start hating the hipsters again

Dollymantra · 20/12/2021 21:57
