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)

The neighbourhood cats and dogs have made up names too.

@KloppsTeeth

Love these. We have:

Turd who lives in Turd Hall. Just a large-ish house but he thinks he is lord of the manor
Rigsby - looks like Leonard Rossiter
Woofer - looks like a shaggy dog
Roxette - has the hairstyle of the female singer
The Jetsons - have all the latest gadgets
The Chins - he has a very pointy chin he hides with a beard. They are just collectively called The Chins
Boy Band - the 5 teenage/early 20s sons of the woman opposite called:
20/20 after Mad Dog 2020 as she has a mad dog. She is married to:
The Drill Sergeant - who does everything at the exact same time and is ex military.
Thin Lizzie - called Liz and is thin
Bernard Manning - he always moans about his mother in law who lives in an annex at their house
Chicken Coop - always in a flap about something on the local FB page. Could be dog poo, or bins.
Billy Bullshit - don’t believe a world he says
Terry and June (look like them)
The Ghosts - never see them coming or going but curtains open and close, lights go on and off.
Break Free - put upon househusband of Mafia Anna
Full Kit Wanker - grown man almost always dressed in the local premier league football kit, complete with the socks.

Wish we had more neighbours to nickname!

We’ve got:

Gordon Garage (pronounced the American way). He’s always talking about his garage, polishing his fancy cars and rearranging them.

Nancy the Bin Ninja . She watches and waits for the bin lorry every week and practically leaps out of her house to put away her bins as soon as it has gone.

Maggie May. A wannabe rock star who looks like a youngish Rid Stewart.

FluffyPinkSocks · 21/12/2021 07:46

We have;

Cyclops and Big Nose
Gerry and Margo Leadbetter
The God Squad
Annie Wilks
The Fits (both PE teachers and extra sporty kids)
Shitter’s Family (the dog shat everywhere)
Single Professional Guy (got a girlfriend now)
Golf widow (he’s dead, she golfs)
Army Dudes
Pablo Escobar (definitely growing something in his house!)

sashh · 21/12/2021 07:54

I'm on a quiet cul-de-sac and know all my neighbours by name (except the new lady who doesn't speak English), so the local cats have names, there's tigger 2 (named after the previous cat, Tiglette - daughter of tigger 2.

Snape, seems to have passed away - beautiful grey male, we now see 'son of Snape' who is grey and white.

Foxtail, a magnificent ginger and white long haired cat whose owner must groom every day, his tail looks like he has stolen it from a fox.

That-bastard-cat - like to let itself in, eat my cat's food and go to sleep on the sofa.

My carer lives in a flat and in the same block is 'Crazy shouty man', he obviously has some mental health issues which is not funny, but some of the stuff he shouts from his balcony is.

Apparently, "Everyone wanted to call me father, even Zeus wanted to call me father, father of Rome"

DukeofEarlGrey · 21/12/2021 08:07

I voted YABU because it sounded a bit mean, but having read some of these now realise I am just very lucky with my neighbours.

Though I worry that I am 47 point turn - would be fair.

Pazuzu · 21/12/2021 08:15

Realised we don't really have nicknames for our neighbours. It's a fairly old person area and the only reason we know some of the houses are actually lived in is because the ambulances keep showing up.

rockyV · 21/12/2021 08:20

Past and present ours have been...

Sons of Anarchy - he wore a black beanie and leather jacket once

Bono and the Edge - he played an acoustic guitar

Crazy Ross - he was anything but crazy. Used to write us emails and print them off and give them to us.

We know our close neighbours by name but still call the either "next door" or by the name or breed of their dogs e.g Rex's house or Labrador couple.

Show home - they live in the show home

Mental Matt - he is v aggressive in the Facebook group.

I really hope we have a nickname.

onemouseplace · 21/12/2021 08:25

We call one of our neighbours Small Angry Man as he is very short and was quite shirty with me once when I asked him to get his builder to move his van so I could get my car off my drive.

Mydogisagentleman · 21/12/2021 08:26

Daddy Stella

jcoc147 · 21/12/2021 08:39

Love this thread! So we have:

Jet ski Jeff- had about 5 jet skis he is always tinkering with and revving usual on a Sunday morning. Real name is Nigel

Connie Cone- stores traffic cones in her porch and if anyone parks in what she deems her space she surrounds the car with cones. Real name Sarah

The binfluncers- lovely couple but are always the first to put their bins out which then reminds us which bin needs to be put out that week- real names chris and Charlotte

Mr & Mrs screw- he works in a prison. Do not know their actual names.

Wizard of oz- married to Dorothy but can never remember his name. Lovely old couple who buy all the kids on the street a selection box at Xmas and eggs at Easter.

Damian- devil child who looks exactly like the child from omen

Damian's mum/dad- see above.

I do sometimes wonder what our neighbours refer to us as 🤣

IARTNS · 21/12/2021 08:42

I wonder if any of the people posting are actually neighbours of each other Grin

everyonesacf · 21/12/2021 08:43

We have 'covid' because he's always lurking. You can't go outside without him making an appearance and eavesdropping on conversations and 'whingebag' which is pretty self explanatory. They're both complete and utter assholes

tallwivglasses · 21/12/2021 10:11

Jack Nicholson from The Shining. He used to stare menacingly out of the window every time I left the flat. If anyone knocked while I was out he'd yell 'she's not in!' We got friendly with his new next door neighbour who told us he had a habit of watching horror videos and would always stop and rewind at the point a woman was screaming. Over and over again. Yuck.

Thankfully we moved, only to discover in the house opposite our very own ugly naked guy - Willy Man.

We moved again (not because of Willy Man, he was very polite and shy when he had his clothes on) and just had the Christians, the Nice Hippies and the Death-metal thrash Students.

thereisonlyoneofme · 21/12/2021 10:12

Not a nickname for the people, but the house next door is Turd Towers (garden full of dog shit) sorry slightly derailing thread

NoDeepFryedFucksGiven · 21/12/2021 10:35

The Lavie licker . Got caught licking a toilet in school Confused. The Gazelle . Runs everywhere like he's being hunted . The Chelsea tractors . Take up half the street with their big fucking gas guzzlers Angry

Sour-face
Prue and Paul
Paedo Martin (gives me the creeps)
Parking cone man

crackofdoom · 21/12/2021 11:23

I know my neighbours by name, although in the larger village we have Sinister Bob and Paul the Wall.

We do give names to our cats’ favoured enemies, though- so we have The Bad Cat from Number Three, and the Enemy Floof. The Enemy Floof is a beautiful big black fluffy thing, as we had ample time to observe the other day when we found him in the kids’ bedroom, and had to escort him out. Extensive enquiries have so far failed to establish where he actually lived.

Ireolu · 21/12/2021 11:32

Twunts next door
Twiddle Dee and twiddle dum
Wayne and Waynetta

hangrylady · 21/12/2021 11:35

These are cracking me up. My parents had Tidy Beard, Irish, Dave the Bed and Old Slapper (she was rumoured to shag around behind her husband's back). We have Illegally Parked (he came out and told my friend off for parking a cm over his dropped kerb and said he'd call the police as she was illegally parked). Grin

AndARiverBeneathYourFeet · 21/12/2021 11:56

We had Racist Pam, who passed on last year.

AndARiverBeneathYourFeet · 21/12/2021 11:59

Lion Lady - walks a pair of massive dogs. Like, you could ride one of the dogs. HUGE.

Ellie's dad - no idea what his name is, but we know the dog is called Ellie
All my neighbours seem to be dog people actually!

MasterBeth · 21/12/2021 12:00

We used to live next door to Shitface and Mrs Shitface.

DobbyTheHouseElk · 21/12/2021 12:02

Would love to know if my neighbours have a nickname for me.
