Got me thinking though - nicknames are plentiful but what are some of the CLEVER ones you've come across?
I remember Mark Waugh was called "Afghanistan" - as in the forgotten 'War'.
What others (famous or not) have you come across that are crackers? Work, sports teams, wherever!

SOC
Being Port types they're not the biggest fans of the Cornes boy's old man so basically it stands for...
(Similar to Carlton's Steve Silvagni 'Son of Serge')
But in the Wharfie's case its 'Son of C*#khead'

One cricketer in the Northern Suburbs was called Cumber. in reference to a vegetable and a certain use of it.
In Loxton we named a team-mate Selley's, because his partner's name was Polly...
Also we had a bloke start playing for us with the surname Lynch around the time of Van Nuygen's death, his nickname tastefully became Van.
I've copped a few nicknames in my lifetime - Kurt, Nixon, Gyprock and most recently Mr Vinyl.
