So I was having a look at a certain rugby message board today and was bored by the names I saw there.
I'm not saying I thought more people should post things, I'm not saying I didn't want to see a particular name. I was just bored with the names.
It seemed to me that my rugby club is lacking in nicknames. Quality, original, funny nicknames that make the monotony of remembering each of the ugly, uninteresting bastards I play with a little more bearable!
So, I thought this would be the perfect space to write these things down and any reasoning behind them.
Obviously, in this space I have coined a number of Noms De Rugby for my friends.
- PunchedBaby
- Kvetch Silverstein/ Third Favorite/ Mr. Maccabees
- Krusty
- Stuffer
I just feel we need to make more of an effort for nicknames. I must add now, I will not give myself a pseudonym because that is what fuckwits do -- never give yourself a nickname! Can you hear me "Outlaw?!"
I will not attach names to these, but if you can't figure them out ask me and I will explain!
Anyway, I have a few suggestions, some of the references are dated, but isn't that the fun -- to drag up old, hilarious, things:
- Runyon Rougher (shortened to Rougher)
- BJ (hilariously shortened from Bob Jones)
- Bristols (Cockney rhyming slang: Bristol City = Titty eg "Check out the Bristols on 'er")
There are many more, but I have to work....
