Nicknames and how they got them

[JK]

Joel Sellwood at the Cats get's the nickname "Bunnings" because they sell wood ... Joel Corey also has an amusing nickname which I can't recall at the minute, but it centred around his teammates noticing that he has two first names.

I think it might have been "Smithy"

when I was an apprentice fitter & turner, one of the trades assistants nickname was royalflush. he hardly ever turned up.
the truck driver was called mudguard because he was bald. all shiny on top, with lots of sh*t underneath.
the leading hand was nearly bald, so he was called mr. moorehead, less hair, more head.
the owner of Harcourts Mawson Lakes is a friend of mine, he has a HUGE forehead, so we call him 8 head because it's twice the size of a forehead.

One of my uncles when I was growing up was bald and his mates called him Chrome Dome

I played footy with a bloke nick named Porno. Nickname is easy to guess why.

[redwhiteandblueblooded]

My nickname of "Ankles" was earned at high school for having a moral standard "3 ft lower than a cnut". Bit harsh I thought at the time, but meh, what ya gonna do?

[Alaska]

I was nick named MadDog in the Army.
Don't know why.................perhaps as a truck driver I regularly lost personnel out the back may have contributed?

Ray 'Slug' Jordon ... and I'd always thought his came from the showers

Jordon grew up in Richmond. His universal nickname Slug (no one aside from loved ones called him Ray) came from an incident at the Puckapunyal military training camp when he was a young man.
''They were red against blue or whatever it was, and he got hit by what was meant to be a blank,'' said former Test opener Keith Stackpole. ''He copped it in the side.''

We had a bloke at work we called seaweed.............because he floated around and done f... all.

Heard on SEN the other day they used to call Ben Matthews from Sydney the wallet because he never got out of the back pocket

We have a guy at the club now who's name is Seaweed for the very same reason!

[The Real Number 3]

I'm better known as Boxhead. Came about when I was about 4 or 5, running around with a box on my head. Everyone i've ever known pretty much calls me it..... 20+ years!!

Worst thing about it is it being easy for others to remember, always get people at festivals/town calling out to me and I have no clue who they are, i'm shocking for remembering names.


My mates usually just call me Box, so when people ask how I got the name I just say "You are what you eat"
