Have you given anyone at work a nickname?

[Chaotic42]

I like to make nicknames for people, and there is a guy at work that is very stupid.

Very stupid. Not only is he a wanna-be thug with the "yo dog" slang and the "fake ice" earrings, but he's just slow.

I started calling him Private Pyle. If you don't know what that means, watch "Full Metal Jacket". So now everyone calls him that.

The other day he was over by himself humming something. I asked him what he was doing, and he said, and I quote, "Private Pyle is getting down! Uhn, do the Private Pyle dance" and started dancing.

I really almost fell down laughing.

I call one girl "Ralph" (from the simpsons, because she has to chime in on any conversation with the most worthless crap ever to come into a conversation).

I call another one "Donnie" (from The Big Lebowski, because she is always out of her element).

 

[Yo Ma Ma]

I started calling him Private Pyle. If you don't know what that means, watch "Full Metal Jacket". So now everyone calls him that.

Or if you've been around awhile, you will recognize the reference to an old TV show Gomer Pyle, U.S.M.C..

But yeah, have definitely given classmates and co-workers private nicknames, to make things more interesting.

Better edit that quick, many people here don't like people in your profession.

Our computer logins are bastardizations of our initials, so if it has an easy pronunciation, we use that.

GEGM (ge-gum), JIK (jick), LESC (lesk), TOL (we actually call him T-LO), etc.

Everyone I work with, although some of them might not know it.

 

[Buttzilla]

they call my boss Baller....cause he married into money.

 

[Kadarin]

While I was at Ft. Benning, we called this one guy "Walking Death". Not because he was fierce or badass or anything, but because I don't think I've ever seen someone get so horribly sick and still be able to function...

 

[Wallydraigle]

Howdie Doodie, Quail Head, Spanky, Uncle Fsck and Uncle Schmuck, just to name a few. I got a million of em.

 

[BlamoHammer]

When my best friend first came to our store, he transferred in from the store in Reno. I started calling him Reno and after awhile it caught on. Now if I refer to him as Chris, a good 50% of the people will not not know who I'm talking about until I tell them I mean "Reno".

 

[purepolly]

where I work they use the initials too. But what I really enjoyed was the abbreviation for the business unit manager of the fiber optics cable components division - BUM FOCC

priceless

just continuing proof that sales people aren't of the highest wattage

About 35 years ago, I called a guy Kitty, because his last name was Carlisle. At the time, there was a show called 'What's My Line' with a regular named Kitty Carlisle. To this day, he's still called Kitty!

 

[sygyzy]

Plenty of nicknames. Giving people witty nicknames are my favorite pastime. Ok not favorite, but I enjoy it greatly.

 

"asshole"

There was a guy that I used to work with whose last name was Metts. I called him New York.

 

[Ameesh]

"$hitface" and "clownfelcher" but they arent meant in a good way.

 

[Ranger X]

I give everyone a nickname (not to their face, of course)

"Jugs"
"Saddam"
"Unabomber"
"The Indian"
"Santa"
"Nomo"

etc.
