There are all sorts of nick names out there, many are funny as all hell for various reasons.

For example, I work with a guy named "Sticky". Now, that had me solidly creeped out... 'til I figured out his surname was Beake.

And there are classics like "Blister", cos he always turns up after all the hard work's been done, and "Lefty", cos he rolled up to work (I kid you not) wearing 2 left boots...

So, share some nick name gold... If you come to the party I've got a ton more, we'll all have a laugh!

My dad's motorcycle group comes up with all sorts of nicknames for their members. One guy's called "Squirrely", another "Hagar", and a short broad guy called "Stumpy".

Oh, and there's a guy called "Cookie".

My dad used to be called "Tank" while he was in the air force. I've pick up two nicknames: "Trench Foot" since I actually had the early stages of it once, and "Boom" since I have a knack for explosive ordnance in games... that and I'm a bit of a pyro.

Ok, so people haven't responded much yet... So, I;ll give you something good.

When I went through basic in the army, EVERYONE gets a nick, and not all of them are good...

There was a guy named "Acorn"... we saw him in the doorless showers... poor bastard's dick was so small it looked like an acorn in a nest of pubes. So....

My bandmate is called "Button". I seriously have no idea why.

My bandmates call me "Hipster". However, I'm not a hipster in any shape or form. We all have nicknames with the end "ster". Nappi is called Napster, Joni is called Jopster, Risto is called Ripster. But you can't make "ster" fit into my name, so they decided on "Hipster".

In school (namely 3rd to 5th grade after which I switched schools) I was called "Skelly" referring to a skeleton, because I was so pale and skinny.

A rather cruel nickname was given to my schoolmate: "Void Walker". It refers to Wow, and it's pretty self-explanatory if you look it up but just to elaborate: She was an overweight goth girl.

I knew a guy called "Socks" because of a story about an improvised condom he used.

Uh, one of my old archery friends was nicknamed 'Little Shit' (for a number of reasons, one of which being he was the only junior cack-hander i.e. left-handed, and he was tiny).

My nickname is currently ironic as opposed to amusing: 'Fatso', despite being being only 147lbs and 5'10".

Don't know how amusing it is, but a lot of my friends call me "Sasquatch". Most pictures they've taken with me in them have my face somehow obscured or I'm blurred out.

edit: Oh, and we call one of my brothers "Butters" cause we caught him singing the South Park characters "Lululu" song.

One of my friends is called "Captain Perception". There's enough stories to fill the whole topic, but let's just say he's the guy who was caught out by the same joke every day for a month.

There's a bloke at work called Spud because it evolved from someone calling him Mr. Potato head.

Also my nickname's Woody. Why isn't funny but it always makes me laugh hearing it.

Most of my friends have stupid nicknames for each other.
One guy has so many it's hard to keep track, he is known as:
Duck, Bump, 3, 21 and chocolate spread.
We have another friend who we all call Antonio Geraldino, even though his name is Ryan.

Ok, another...

My Auntie has a friend "Bonk", he's a paraplegic... and an alcoholic. He gets so drunk he'll fall face first out of his wheelchair and go 'BONK' on the floor.

Wrong, but funny.

There was a particularly strange person that dubbed me "Robo" once. Apparently I reminded her of a cyborg or something.

Because he looks like gollum.
Someone I know's girlfriend is called that...unfortunately for the same reason.
