Nicknames

We had a guy in the boy scouts who was called “Slash”, in retrospect he probably had a weak bladder!

however with nicknames it could be the complete opposite. doubt there were many chalkies about who had pail complexions. just wonder what name born, bred or residents of accrington are known as.

When my lad was in the Royal Tank Regiment his moniker was Milkbottle, no amount of sun, winds etc would give him a suntan.

just wonder what the present day PC brigade with do with that or other nicknames we have seen on here. they,d be claims for em affecting mental health blocking up the court time for years to come. away from the forces do they actually exist anymore nowadays.
 
This thread has got me thinling about people I've worked with who I've got no idea about how they got their nicknames, Captain Arrow, The Mask, Chief Muppett are a few I can think of.
 
Some old Liverpool ones are Eyesier, for someone with one eye higher than the other, Tilly Mint/Mary Mint for a random female, Yozzer for someone with the surname Hughes, Father Bunloaf for a Catholic priest & Scuffers for the local Constabulary officers.
