Worker nicknames

[Eric GSX1400K3]

Here's a start

[Hooli]

We've got one called moonlight, cause he's not very bright.

[Speedy1959]

Errr I dont know if I will be banned but this goes back over 40 years..
My mate worked at a coach building company..
The foreman had one withered stump of an arm (birth defect)..
They err called him "Skippy" !!!

[grog]

Weve had a couple of Googles, they know everything. Village Idiot, because he was. Sorry Mate but we did have a Speedy, because he wasnt.

[Notty]

We had a guy called "eighteen months" he only had 1 and a half ears ( cut off with a knife at a football game )

[Hooli]

It wasn't at work, but I knew a lad called 'two stroke' after a couple of his exs got chatting 

[Will14]

I had a boss once & named him Bungalow Bill, there was nothing up top! Went on to be a director of a now long gone company!

[T250]

It wasn't at work, but I knew a lad called 'two stroke' after a couple of his exs got chatting 

We had a chap at work called the same because of his terrible stutter...

[KiwiCol]

Young fella I used to work with ages ago was called Half Price,  he had a weird haircut, long on 1 side & short on the other.

Bloke I worked with recently was known as Toenail, cause he worked about as fast as a toenail grows.

[grog]

I forgot about starter motor and generator. Used to have local panel shop. Two brothers. Generator used to start work and just never stop. Starter motor unfortunately had really bad stutter. He was the one that always rang for parts, talked to customers. No idea why other didnt. Anyway, he could talk a couple of words, then seized up, rrrrrrr for maybe 30 seconds, another few words then back to rrrr. Sounded just like a starter motor winding over non starting motor. No offence meant to anyone, just how it was. Sure was difficult on phone.

[Hooli]

We've got one called moonlight, cause he's not very bright.

I forgot to say about this.

He had to ask why we called him Moonlight as he didn't get it! then complained it was offensive.

[GSXKING]

My state manager at the bank was nicknamed Mudguard because he was an aaahole & bald
Shiny on top, shit underneath

[Eric GSX1400K3]

Seems my list didn't attach

Heard one the other day : "Quarterback" - always sits at the back and does 1/4 of the work

[Tally]

I work in a glass factory as a glass cutter, we have two lads called hammer and spanner as you can guess ! Not The sharpest of tools in the box . Needless to say they have nothing to do with safe handling of glass , they are a pair

[Notty]

And of course me = Notty ! why? worked as a linesman on telephones, if wire came down on a building site why climb each end? tie a knot connect the wires and just climb the pole and pull them back up. Hence Notty, some guys in work after 43 years still only knew me as Notty
