Im fairly new. Been here maybe 3 months. Is the "big dave" nickname a pity thing or what? Is it because Im the new guy? Why do people say this?

If it makes you feel any better, I used to work with two Pauls, and we called one Fat Paulie.
So it could be worse.

Take it as a compliment man. When people call me Big Dave, it makes me feel hung like a Rockstar!

Ooooohhhh...dude, that's nothing negative. It's just the way some people talk. A guy at work calls everyone "Chief".

Heh. I think "Dave" is one of those names that just goes well with "big". Some names do, some don't.

Big Dave = cool
Big Delbert = not cool
Big Moe = cool
Big Maurice = not cool
Big John = cool
Big Jordan = not cool
Big Bertha = cool
Big Brittney = not cool

By the way, my neighbor goes by "Big Dave". Even his wife calls him that. Not just "Dave", but always "Big Dave". And he's not all that big. As far as I can tell, anyway.

Also, there's this one annoying guy in my office that walks my once a week and says, in a real deep voice: "Biiiggg Jimmmmmm. How's the twins?" (my name is Jim)

A place I once worked at had two guys named Jose. So one guy was called Jose, the other guy was called "Hose B".

It can be worse.

Big Jim and the twins. It took me a while to figure it out (because I'm old now and not as hep as I used to be) but it refers to the male reproductive equipment.
