Nicknames
« on: March 13, 2016, 12:09:15 am »

   Nicknames, Aussies are second to none in the art of the nickname, some are funny, some are cruel.  I know a lot of the blokes on here use them instead of thier own name and we get a lot from our workmates, we have all heard of the slow working dope called aspro etc, then there are some that are really clever.  I used to work with a arsehole fella who had a head like a boarding house pudding (even bigger than our Prime Ministers) and he was given the name ( ten and seven eighths ) because of his hat size.  Anyone got any others? 
                            Zane

                                                                                               
Everyday I find one more name to add to the list of people who piss me off.

We had a bloke at work called "The brown hornet"
At the time, the bosses name was Clay, hornets make their nest in Clay.
He was a massive arse licker, the funniest part was that hey liked the name, but never worked out it's origin. haha.

a tradesman when I was an apprentice "the incredible bulk"
"man with a head like the body of an emu" (hair style)
"lucas prince of darkness" (bloke who did the HV switching at my work - a power station)
"Soc" worked with his son who dreamed the nickname up. Son reckons it means Silly Old C***
A bloke at my work is called "Tony the Russian" because he is Russian and has a long surname. What do you say when someone asks "what nationality is Tony the Russian"?
"Errol" because everything he touches, he f***s
"passion fingers" because same reason
"poppy" is engineering student at work who failed the drug test (twice) because his mum home-bakes his bread using lots of poppy seeds

At my work:

Pockets (where his hands live).
Custard Guts.
Fat Head.
The Zombie (has a big drug habit).
Muffler (first name is Luke -> Lukey).
Dougly.
Cock (isn't really).
No (his surname is Ware, but you can never find him).
Happy Paul (miserable banana).
Brain Damage (loves Datsuns).
Stifler (looks a bit like him).

The good thing about telling the truth is that you don't have to remember what you said.

Splinters, always boosting about his footy skills spent more time on the bench than all the other players combined. Played grade
Melon, had a head like one.
Florence, always had a torch in his hands
Tape Worm, we all know the guy 6 foot skinnier than a rake would eat from dawn till dusk and never put on weight.
Hydraulic, the light fingered co worker would lift anything.
Edga Brit, a shit of a co worker.
Jaffa, the red head co worker.
Were do I stop these are just some of the colourful co workers I have know over the years.
