To have nicknames for my neighbours and ask what yours are for yours?

[Cantheowneroftheredcorsapleasemovetheircar]

Apparently most people in the UK have nicknames for their neighbours that they use within their household.

Mine are -
Their names - J & M (next door)
Next door not J & M (I actually know their names but still call them this)
Barky dog people
Penguin people
Policeman's family
Old boy

What are yours, and perhaps more interestingly... what do you think your neighbours call you?

Creepy with the specs

my name for a pervy bloke who leers at me and others from his window every time he spots us

Mrs Red car, who lives with/is married, to Mr Blue car
Madame Butterfly (she flits in and out of her house at random times),
Mrs "Oooof" (the sound she makes whenever she goes into her garden, nobody knows why that sound)
Mr Airlock (we always know when he's running water because of the high pitched squeal that comes from having an airlock in the system),
Shouty couple
Lastly the couple who spend all summer sat in chairs in front of their garage openly judging everybody...we call them Waldorf and Statler.

Disabled - he got caught committed benefit fraud saying he couldn’t walk and was witnessed up on a roof and unloading vans
menopause - her moods are unpredictable and OTT
horse - she looks like a horse
potato head - he looks like mr potato head

everyone else we just use their names

We have:
The Sheriff- always has something to say about local events/people and thinks he’s more important than he is.

Dance Gran- runs a dance school and has done for decades

Miss Honey- primary school teacher

Tom Cruise- when the house was on the market I looked at the listing as it has a sizeable converted bar in the cellar.

We have an awful neighbour that we call 'Beg Cheggers' - adapted from 'Barclay Beg-Chetwynd' from UK Ghosts as they are exactly alike!

She looked like a man and had huge boobs or paps as we'd say around here.

My neighbour is called cockwomble

Most are called their names, but of a couple aren’t :

• Car Wash 🎵working at the… (guy who cleans his car literally daily)
• Death Murder Gardener (bloke at the back and along who does all his gardening at 12-2am with headlamps. Strangely productive tomatoes)

DH has also named (or renamed) all the cats:

• Bageera and Ghost (both v svelte and entirely black or white)
• Mumps (cat with a very round, quite battered face)
• Wilma! (said like Fred Flintstone, as their owner yells the name to call it in)
• Shit Cat (cat that looks like a boring golfclub wanker and frequently shits in anyone’s garden. no one knows who actually owns this cat)

We have Mr Sneezy Man next door. I think he has allergies of some sort. He sneezes all the time, really loudly. Sometimes 20-30 sneezes within a 10 minute period.

Haha love this thread. We have:

The joggers - very active family always out jogging in their short shorts.
Towie - woman has had boobs/lips/teeth etc done, man is perma tanned with turkey teeth.
Tiktoker - their daughter prob aged about 21 sits in her car filming tiktok/youtube videos
Pimento - from Brooklyn 99 as he looks like him and is a bit of a maniac
Fucking Squeegee - Cleans his shower screen with a squeegee at 5.15am - their bathroom window is opposite our landing window and when it was really hot we had the windows open every night and I wondered what was waking dd up at that time every day and then I heard it - I felt murderous!

The other neighbours we know their names or they are just normal and nothing remarkable to nickname them.

We had…
The Brothers
pennyfarthing man
The colonel
Typhoid Mary (a hangover from the early Covid days)

loved that street!

We have Mrs.... husbands name as we don't know her name despite living here a while she did tell us but neither of us can remember! There is the mad woman who walks down the middle of the rd in all weathers in shoes that are too big and usually carrying boxes/bags. There used to be old man old dog (who's names we did actually know) sadly both passed away within a couple of days of each other 😢 there is also a bloke who resembles our lodger and we call him lodgers dad.

Deals on Wheels - local dope dealer.
Action Man - he’s in the TA.
HMV - has records for sale outside his house.
Toni & Guy - weird salon set-up in a normal house.
Killing It Woman - sadly she’s moved now. I loved seeing her outfits, she was always killing it.
24 Hour Party People - they like their parties 😬

I used to live next door to a fairly unpleasant family. Loud, rude, judgy, classless, racist. I used to call them the "no-necks", if anyone is familiar with Cat on a Hot Tin Roof they'll understand why.

The ginger bastard house (they have a ginger cat that I’m constantly scaring out my garden)
The Coppers (they are both police)
Noisy twats (needs no explanation)

About to move to a house with no neighbours though and I can’t wait!

Frank the wank!

Same here, unable to close a door without slamming it. Inside and outside.

Hairy and Scary (godawful surgeons)
Underpants (mystifying numbers of brightly coloured y fronts)
Eric Tell the World (local gossip)

We’ve had:
Mr Virgin man (worked for Virgin)
Ned Flanders / The Flanders (Christian family who hated Halloween)
Mr Inside Out ( his drive was full of stuff)
The newly marrieds (even 10 years after they married!)

I love pubic Charles!

We just call either side by their names. Same with neighbour opposite and all the neighbours who I know and get along with.
Those who’s names we don’t know we tend to refer to by the cars they have.
Or one man who dh calls poo man. He is about 45 and divorced. His mother is there all the time. Dh started to say she must wipe his arse for him, as she is there constantly. When we see her car parked outside dh will say ‘ Oh it must be poo day today.’

BMW man. Chow man, labrador lady, huge dog lady, bouncy alsation man (do you see a theme here?). We know our neighbours left, right, opposite and over the back fence by name.

Madame Shouty
Monsieur Shouty
Monsieur Yellow (their son)
Madame Falafel (sounds like Sue in This
Country)
Fat Fuck Eric (my other neighbours name for him) I just call him Eric
We don’t have a name for his girlfriend yet - she burns rubbish, shouts at the dogs and has crack addict teeth. Her real name is Leticia, suggestions welcome.

Most of my neighbours are nice, normal people so are just known by their names but one rather “unique” individual is variously referred to as Fannyfartface, Thatmadbitch, Crystaltips or The Poison Dwarf.

(For those too young to get the 70s/80s references, Crystaltips was a cartoon character with purple hair and the poison dwarf was Terry Wogan’s nickname for a small and manipulative character in Dallas)

Thought of one. Frank - as in Gallagher, but without the beard. Or Tiffany….
