What’s the funniest nickname you’ve ever given someone or someone gave it to you?

Question

WhiteSteve · Accepted Answer

Hmm, there are a few, I guess.

For myself: The OG is when I was a baby, my parents, especially my mom, called me “Snooper”, bbut pronounced the double-Os like you’d say in “cook”, so it was like “Snuhpper.” It was because I would “snoop around” in my mother’s belly before I was born, haha. I of course hated it, I think because it was cutesy and infantilizing, and I was like “I’m not a baby! I’m six fingers old!”😂

When I was growing up, I was often the only white kid, and some older kids had dubbed me “Pasty”, lmfao. Fortunately that one didn’t stick with my peers😂

In high school, there was a faction who called me Mac Daddy or Daddy Mac, lmfao, based on my last name and because of this novelty kids’ rap duo called Kris Kross from a few years before, who had two big singles when we were all in middle school, and their claim to fame was that they wore their clothes backwards (and we were young enough to follow suit🤦‍♂️😂).

Still slaps though😝 And backwards or forwards, that is EXACTLY how I dressed when I was 13, lmfao

Eminem wasn’t out yet, so if you were white and liked rap, you were subject to ridicule from other white people, a lot of the time. And I ended up going to a mostly-white high school with suburban kids, so I was a bit of a black sheep. It was amongst friends, but it was kind of a jab. I didn’t care other than that it was kind of silly sounding.

In college, I became “White Steve”, created to differentiate me from “Asian Steve”, another guy from my floor in my dorm. But because I’m so decidedly white, that’s stuck til this day, haha

And then on my semipro football team, I wasn’t there for ten minutes of my first try-outs before somebody said “you look like a Hollywood Crip” because I had a blue bandana on as a headband, but tied in the front, haha. Then someone called me “Eminem”, and then “Slim Shady.” And that ended up being my nickname on the team, just “Shady” for short. Occasionally “Ghost” and “White Chocolate”, lmfao, but mostly Shady. I have “Shady” on my championship ring instead of my real last name, because I’m not sure most of them even knew my government name😂

For others…there was this girl I worked with, she was a bartender. And she had this run of bad luck, once where some drunk kid punched her and stole her slice of pizza after the bars had let out🙄🤦‍♂️, and another time, on her birthday, she got so drunk that she fell down a flight of stairs and her face was all scraped up for a week or so. So I started calling her “Crash” McNiff, haha. I think I was the only one, but I enjoyed it😝

My favorites, though, are just my girlfriend and myself, for each other. Early on, we decided to give each other publicly-embarrassing pet names😂 So I got stuck with “Snuggy” (pre-Snuggie™️ blankets too, she should sue for infringement, haha), and I call her “Tubby”, lmao. I went to college in a super-soft town, and one of her first birthdays we had together, I had to battle with a baker to get her to inscribe her cake with “Happy Birthday, Tubby”, because she was afraid it was meant offensively🙄🤦‍♂️😂 But I legit never call her by her real first name, only “Tubby”, lmfao

When I was working at the bank, we had this one really stupid kid working for us and, eventually, we got really tired of hearing about his stupid ideas and I started calling him, "Needle Dick".

Another guy there was EXTREMELY annoying!!! NOBODY liked him!!! He was ALWAYS sticking his nose into other peoples' business, making stupid and rude comments that any NORMAL adult person of his age would KNOW not to say and he ALWAYS thought he knew EVERYTHING about EVERYTHING and, if you didn't do things the "right" way, he'd get on your ass and whine about it and then go tell the boss about it!! His name was William, but you COULDN'T call him Bill, Billy, Will or Willy, you HAD to call him, William or he'd get REALLY pissed at you!! He was a tall, scrawny white kid with glasses and had a nasally, whiney voice and most of the people there were black so, I started calling him, "White Urkel" and when they heard me call him that, they fell down laughing because he IS like a white Urkel!! We had this midget woman working there and even she said she wanted to beat the shit out of him!!

my youngest daughter has a several nicknames, but Drama Queen stick to her :D

and it's a family joke effect, she definitely isn't a drama queen :D

in college and university people from my year and with time from lower years too were copying my notes... most of them didn't even know me or my name and copies of my notes were marked as Lady Perfect Notes :D

I was told that my notes are still there and I even have a folder in copy center in my uni :D

There are so many where do I begin. My family sometimes calls me Coobs because that is how I pronounced “schoolbus” when I was small.

One of my BFs called me Squishy. When I asked why, he said “because you are squishy.” For the record I am not overweight he just thought I was softer and squishy compared with himself I guess (which is true but I would not say it’s a great nickname).

DrPepper12 · Answer

The year i had 6 Michael's in one class. I went with last names but they got bored with that so huddled up and proposed alternatives. The whole class liked the 7 dwarves or 7 deadly sins to chose from, I don't remember the other choices but we ended up going with both and had Sleepy Sloth & Greedy Grumpy and matched other alliterations to their last names. That class was 🔥 🔥 🔥 The parents to a man thought it was hilarious and creative!

When I was younger I worked at a firm with a much younger staff. Since I brought up the avg. age by about 10 years, and since the movie "Grandma's boy" was out about that time. A group of them (highlighting my disproportionate age) took to giving me the nickname "greybush".😆 If you've seen the movie you get it.

Sachem · Answer

In high school I was in a world history class (though we only discussed European history). For some reason the teacher was obsessed with Napoleon Bonaparte and discussed the subject for more than half the semester. I was probably the best student and often spoke up in class in reply to the teacher's questions. One very tall and humorous student started to call me ''Napoleon" because I did so well and got an excellent grade. I'm rather short and always found that to be funny.

I 100% believe I would have been a state champion in wrestling.

Buttttttt I am a baseball player (same season).

Very good at baseball but a 5’6” player isn’t given a chance without a 4.3 40 yard dash.

I also hated the wrestling uniforms enough to say no the the wrestling coach who begged me to wrestle.
