Nicknames

Here are some examples of the more memorable nicknames me and my friends have used to refer to people between ourselves, mostly in the gym or the workplace. The fun thing is when a ridiculous nickname would get used in the middle of a serious sentence because sometimes the nickname can be more or less a sentence in itself. The last dude on the list had a nickname which was basically poetic verse! The first one is a classic too. For example: “Aw shit! I’ve just bumped who the f**k is he’s car!”
