southsider2k5 Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 I don't think this one has been done before, but it might be fun... What nicknames do you have, or did you used to have, and what are the stories behind them? I'll even start up... all through HS and college I was known as Crash. Most people had no idea why... When I was a Jr in HS, I got a job at a local country club through my best friend at the time. I worked in the pro shop. One of the duty's we had was to clean the golf carts and take them back to the bin to plug them in to re-charge. The path was a backwards C shaped path around the proshop and garage to the back entrance where the carts sat when they weren't being used. My first day on the job when my buddy was showing me how to clean them and where to take them, he has me hop on another cart to follow him back to put them away. I slam on the go peddle and slide out of the curve and smack right into the Pro's conversion van, with him and his assistant watching me. Instead of firing me or yelling, he just calmly looks at my buddy and tells him. "Let's teach Crash here how to properly drive a cart."

Brian Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 Hurt. All my buddies know that Frank is my favorite player. About 5 years ago, we were joking around and I said I wanted to be called Big Hurt. Since then, they all call me Hurt. It's kinda cool.

Texsox Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 I played on a traveling baseball team and five of the players were all named Jim. Jim Adkins got to keep his name. Fitting because he was our Captain and best player Jimmy Lubtack became LBJ as in led bottom Jim Jim Valentine became Valentine Jim Durkin became mouse because his dad was an exterminator and had a giant mouse on his car. And with one mighty swing and a miss during a practice, I became grandma Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heartattack19 Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 I have been heartattack since high school. I was always a second baseman, but USED to be able to run fast. Coaches decided to put me in the outfield, i would always look like i was camped under a flyball but then at the last second make some crazy adjustment to catch the ball, giving the coaches and my teammates a "heartattack" Name has stuck to this day, and i still catch flyballs the same way!

MHizzle85 Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 Throughout high school I was Sucram, it's my name backwards. It was mainly because a friend of ours like to say things backwards every now and then. Now I get Markie or the ever so popular Barackus. My name's Marcus and numerous girls tell me I resemble Barack Obama. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EvilMonkey Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 (edited) In high school, I was called Fuji and Alpha Dog. In college I got reduced to my sports number, and was called '15' most of the time, with the occasional Alpha Dog from those that knew me from high school. Haven't been called any of them much anymore, outside of here or a few other sites. Edited October 16, 2008 by Alpha Dog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonik22 Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 Teggy, because of my last name. My brother was given it first, so whenever I'm around him or his friends he's big Teg, and I'm little Teg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chisoxfn Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 Pretty much everyone of my friends refers to me as Gage or Ten Gage. Ten Gage has a perveted meaning where as Gage is simply my last name but it rolls off the tongue very smoothly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
