This name stemmed from a friend rubbing the back of my head after I had it cut short. He said, "You feel like my dog's butt!" I told him to get his hand out of my hair.Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15093282449753003894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34591549.post-88424398188429311422008-04-22T08:22:00.000+10:002008-04-22T08:22:00.000+10:00Quicky: To right!

And apart from a bush rat nibbling my rafters at 2:30am, I slept soundly with my new-found knowledge *snickers*<BR/><BR/>Ryan: Shows what you know. . .I've pinned the binge drinking usual suspects as Abe, Lemmers, Smelly, Supergeek, and Snowjob! You work out which is which. Add Nicknames to your Facebook!<BR/><BR/>Brianf: I'm amazed you haven't had a barage of the "ginger-" prefixes! Here you'd be bluey, boofhead, Septic and of course defo Fitzy. Although if you played NRL may well get Plugger or Tank. Adding a "Y" is more acceptable for surnames here, adding to a first name is considered a bit girly unless it's done by your mother or girlf.<BR/><BR/>Kate: You're a classic version of the 'shortening' of first names. My best friend named her daughter Katherine with a 'K' rather than a 'C' because she knew she'd be called Kate. Then we all called her "Poss". Go figure.<BR/><BR/>BrianD: A statement on your origins and your lifestyle, not bad but too much of a mouthful I'll have to work on something. "Pwner" perhaps although Damage works a treat. <BR/><BR/>Ah C'mon Ian . . seriously? You're Rev or Polly! No Brainer!<BR/><BR/>My nickname is NOT Baino by the way . . that honour goes to ClareBear! And the best I've ever heard, "Giblets".Bainohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14156193098088048637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34591549.post-24112546182055033152008-04-22T03:01:00.000+10:002008-04-22T03:01:00.000+10:00No-one ever managed to shorten Ian - though I got ...No-one ever managed to shorten Ian - though I got Jan (a la Eastern Europe) at schoolAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34591549.post-80759934635070558392008-04-22T01:59:00.000+10:002008-04-22T01:59:00.000+10:00Steiner Recliner had to be my personal favourite o...Steiner Recliner had to be my personal favourite of all the nicknames I've had.dacrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06926449426513297130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34591549.post-5160305164320220672008-04-21T23:40:00.000+10:002008-04-21T23:40:00.000+10:00You know, I've never had a nickname.

Friends and family, too. A few attempts were made, by myself, because the idea of a nickname was appealing, but nothing ever stuck.<BR/><BR/>Ah, well.Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02778318185310548615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34591549.post-87796494646247121462008-04-21T23:23:00.000+10:002008-04-21T23:23:00.000+10:00About seven or eight years ago at a meeting of our...About seven or eight years ago at a meeting of our rifle team folks were pointing out that all of our names had been shortened with the exception of myself and Sean. We have Mikey, Chucky, Denny, Bobby, Billy G., Tommy, Freddy, Dickey, Ricky and so on. They were all making up silly names for Sean and myself.
