Humorous nicknames.

[Markymark]

No, they really are offering you a coffee.
And any mention of you being a Gareth Hunt is merely comparing your rugged good looks.

I knew I could rely on you guys. Always have my best interests at heart. Really pleases me your inferiority doesn’t cloud your judgement of my awesomeness.

We used to call one of our managers at Ramsgate Hoverport ‘FUB’.
The ‘U’ was for useless. I’m sure you can guess what the other two stood for.

There's a similar on on the dibble:

FLUB = Fat, lazy, ugly, and born out of wedlock.

My erstwhile colleague of a similar nature was know as FLUB, because he was lazy as well as the other things.

Edit: I see Drago beat me to it

 

[glasgowcyclist]

Pampas - because he was considered the world's biggest grass.

Aye; the "L" always stood for lazy for the many with that nickname at my old place of work.

My mate's wife used to call him Shergar because when he went out with his mates, he would disappear without trace.

Steve Waugh was Tugga. I'd heard Junior for Mark Waugh, but wiki says Afghan too (the forgotten Waugh).......

I played in the same team as Mark Waugh for a number of years. I'm pretty confident I know what we called him.

Sounds like you had him mixed up with someone else.

 

[MikeG]

No, no. It was definitely him.

 

[jongooligan]

Pretty sure it was Dean Waugh (brother of the more illustrious Steve & Mark) who was nicknamed Afghan.

 

[Bazzer]

Many years ago had an acquaintance known as wing nut because of the shape of his head and sticking out ears.

A couple from my days in the RAF...

Kelvin - for someone who is an absolute zero
Ike - stands for 'I know everything'

 

[rikki]

Sam = self appointed manager

A bloke come to the counter one day wearing a fluoro work shirt with Placebo embroided on the front. I asked him why, and he replied without any shame - "Oh that's just what everyone calls me at work".

In my 20s I was called 'Little Col' by my workmates. I am 6' 1" tall and at that time I was fairly muscular and weighed about 13.5 stone.

'Big Col' worked nearby ... He was of @Drago-esque proportions, probably 6' 4"+ and 15+ stone! ( <--Me looking up at him)
