Do you have nicknames for people...

[JoM]

...who are totally unaware of them?

Just reading the random thread and Jan's mentioned someone local who has a few nicknames.

We've got 'The Nobodies' living across from us. Called that because they used to speak to no one when they first moved in. They're actually really nice though. I see him out jogging when I walk Billy before 7 and he always speaks, or waves if he's in the distance. I've walked Billy with her and their dog on occasions. Lovely people but the name's stuck If I now referred to them as Julie and Andrew, John wouldn't have a clue who I was talking about.

Smokesalot lives around a corner. A woman who is never seen without a cigarette.

Morrissey the Consumer Monkey walks his dog on the common every morning. So named after a Vic Reeves Big Night Out monkey puppet from years ago. The dog walker has the same hair, teeth and glasses.

No we don't, but we do refer to lots of people via their dogs, because we know their names before the owners

My brother always used to say the queen mother is coming when I used to visit cheek

Next door is Dangerous Brian, because he talks non-stop, about the workings of a washing machine or his chickens, ducks....

A lady who has lived here for heaven knows how many years is Miss America, because that's where she comes from.

We used to have quite a few when we lived in England.

Woggle Eye - as one did

I can't think of anyone for whom I, or we, have a nickname.

In my younger days (very younger) I used quite a few, but they are to naughty to tell you now.

[JanB]

We had a few naughty one's too

We had one armed Brian, to differentiate him from Hobbsy and Payney, of which there were two

My ex had a friend they called Donkey Dave, for reasons I could not possibly go into.......

Funnily enough, we use more nicknames when we're texting. We use emojis to identify folk.
My sister, ex-copper, has a policeman. One of my friends, who is never seen without a titfer, has a top hat. And Mrs O, who has an ancient sheepskin jacket to keep warm, is a llama!
