Nicknames for your thinly veiled

AphexTwinkletoes [Edit] [Delete] 23 replies 10:52, 17 July '14

Balonz, this is my thread for the day, inspired by the PN nicknames thread

I will weigh in with:
Chumbridge Wells
Forrest Chump
Lord Chumpington
Chumbawamba
(variations on a theme, here)

  • My nicknames are reserved for my son at the moment

    Chimpoiselle* is currently in heavy rotation.

  • Just "Toots" really

    I'd like to think it makes me seem like a gritty, hardboiled, 1950's Chicago private detective but I don't think it does.

    • I might try this one out

  • my uncle's lifelong nickname for my aunt has been "pug"

    not sure how he's gotten away with that tbh

  • I don't have any for him, but he has a few for me...

    beans
    mcgooch

    Elaina_Casoolare | 17 Jul '14, 11:03 | X
    • mcgooch is my favourite thus far

    jozzaroo

  • my dad does this. he calls my mam mary, she's not mary and never has been. it's got the same syllables as her name, there is actually no point to it. it's something to do with olden days and female horses being called mares?

    georgiabeth | 17 Jul '14, 11:07 | X
  • Not all for the same person

    "Funnyface"
    "Farty"
    "J"
    "Pen"

    I tried with "sweetheart" in some kind of loveable gangster vein for a while but it didn't work

  • we used to call each other pi/pie for years, not so much these days.

    but be it wife or child, it tends to be food stuffs or animals usually, ie, sausage, tiger, pumpkin, monkey. or alternatively captain fancy pants.

  • Sub-thread question

    Is there anyone who, like me, ONLY uses nicknames and then finds it very odd when, in company, you have to use their actual name? I would never use the GF's name when it's just the two of us

    ZooKeepersBoy | 17 Jul '14, 11:17 | X
  • Bitchtits

    or Cowbag

    Apparently the latter is more offensive.
