ExWNYer Posted February 26, 2005 Posted February 26, 2005 What was your nick name growing up? Or some of your buddies names Tommy two toes? Thumbs? 253405[/snapback] I never really had a nickname growing up but several people near and dear (and not so) to me did. My father's cousin used to call my brother 'Stinky' when we were kids due to my bro's gaseous propensities! As a kid, my sister had long Marcia Brady-esque hair. Her name is Sherry so we shortened it to 'Hair' (as in Sh-hair-ry)...it then morphed into 'The Hare'. My best friend as a kid was named Gary. Everyone called him 'Chip' except this one guy that called him 'Twinky' after 'Twinky The Kid' on the Hostess snack box. I'm not quite sure how that nickname came about. A guy we hung out with in high school had the last name Winckler. We used to rag on him unmercilessly. Eventually, when anyone would do something stupid we'd say: "You're such a Winckler." But my favorite of all time is another guy (not a friend) that went to high school with us. I can't remember his real first name since no one used it, but I think it was Charles or something. His last name was Dyke and the first name he went by was...no joke, the God's honest truth...Butch. That's right, Butch Dyke!!!
IDBillzFan Posted February 26, 2005 Posted February 26, 2005 My mom called me "sh-it for brains." I never got what she meant though. 253503[/snapback] Did ya ever hear Bill Cosby's old routine where he spent the first ten years of his life thinking his name is 'Jesus Christ'? And his brother's name was Goddamit. He tried to convince his friends he was Jesus Christ, and they wouldn't believe him, so he brought home a whole bunch of friends...all of them walk into his house and he says "Mom, these are my friends." Mother sees all the kids dragging mud into her living room and yells "Jesus Christ!" And he turns to his friends "See, I told ya."
Live&DieBillsFootball Posted February 26, 2005 Posted February 26, 2005 Bong Water. I should have never drank it when they dared me.
PromoTheRobot Posted February 26, 2005 Posted February 26, 2005 "Milton The Monster" Anyone remember that cartoon? Kids called me that, then just plain "Milton" becuase I was already over 6ft tall in 5th grade. PTR
KD in CA Posted February 26, 2005 Posted February 26, 2005 There have been several over the years. "Woody" when I was a teenager, 'Letterman" in college and more recently a couple of dear friends tabbed me as "American Psycho" -- hence the avatar!

BILLS4LIFE Posted February 26, 2005 Posted February 26, 2005 My mom calls me Rastas and still does...
Nervous Guy Posted February 26, 2005 Posted February 26, 2005 mine was Bones....I was tall and skinny. I had a friend who was a large fellow, people called him breasts...there was this other really skinny kid we called Chemical Dude.
Nick in RaChaCha Posted February 26, 2005 Posted February 26, 2005 I never had a nickname growing up. People and friends tried to give me one but it would never stick. (maybe having an identical twin brother just confused people to much on what my name was anyway) I guess you could say that a name I answered to growing up, that was not my own, was "Steve" the name of my brother
