Do you give coworkers nicknames(behind their back)

[Guava Jelly]

I do
I work with a guy who is lets say unappreciative of our african american brothers and sisters.
His nickname dubbed by me is "Bigot" I also work with a fundy Whom i nicknamed "Jesusboy"
Whats funny is Bigot has a nickname for jesus boy..he calls him "flash"...Wonder what my nickname is??

[sakabatou]

1. Not coworkers, but some students I teach have nicknames.

[IsIt1984Yet]

2. Yeah, we had the Hardy Boys (they've split) and the Super Friends

[jobycom]

3. No.

[reyd reid reed]

4. Heh...

You prolly don't wanna know.

We've got 'em for people where I work...but we're up-front about it, whether they're good or bad. Except for me, I don't have one. Oh, wait...yes, I do.

Nemmind.

Heh...once I transferred a call to someone...and used their nickname by mistake.

Oops.

:blush:




(I'm allowed, though...I once called one of my boys by his nickname while he was sitting in the dugout. If my kids can take it, ANYONE should be able to. So there. Neener.)

[Sugar Smack]

5. YES. My bosses were "The Tinman" and "The Scarecrow"

and the production manager was "The Cowardly Lion". Oh, the memories.

Some of the assemblers: "Cameltoe", "Boomhauer" and "The Whistler".

This thread has great potential! I can't wait to see all the replies--thanks for the idea!

*kiss, kiss*

[Guava Jelly]

6. I aim to please sugarli__ I mean Sugar Smack

oops :)

[Sugar Smack]

7. LOL!

That's the sauciest thing anyone's said to me all day. :D :* :yourock: :woohoo:

[Guava Jelly]

8. Now I have a hard time believing that

:)

[RiffRandell]

9. Absolutely.

One woman I used to work with tried to sabotage me. I never liked her anyway (she came to work with fucking pneumonia because we had the stupid "reward" if you never called in 1 day sick in a year you get a weeks pay! When I'm like I can stay home for a week and get the same pay, otherwise known as sick time. Idiots. Anyway, she was a HEAVY smoker (and I am a former social smoker), wrinkled as a prune, with long, scraggly hair. Nickname: Seahag

[woo me with science]

10. no

outgrew such nastiness in ninth grade.

[Guava Jelly]

11. Yes it's immature But sometimes actions merit Immaturity

The people i knick name are the way they are by choice.Not by either a mental or physical disorder.
Well mental in the fact that they are either racist of color or of sexuality.
so I don't feel bad one bit.

[woo me with science]

21. I think it would be more effective

if you told them directly how you feel about racist and/or sexist comments. That is what adults do.

Snickering and calling people names behind their backs doesn't impress me when I see it in adults.

[Guava Jelly]

22. yeah but its fun

:)

[woo me with science]

23. okie dokie.

to each his own.

[Guava Jelly]

24. I honestly respect your opinion and you are right of course

but for the sake of a silly thread on the internet I chose to take the low road :)

[woo me with science]

27. s'okay. I was playing moralist with strangers,

which is another way to take the low road online. :)

[salin]

12. In all my years - only one... worked the word "toxic" into the name.

Person had a very toxic personality. Takes a great deal to push me to that point... generally not my nature. But... exceptions are born to every rule, as they say.

[yellowdogintexas]

13. used to work with a young woman who had this terribly sweet

almost affected voice..another co worked and I nicknamed her Miss Diabetes because we felt if you listened to her too long, you would need insulin.

once had a manger the teamleaders nicknamed "the beast in the corner"

[KitchenWitch]

14. I was in school years ago with a woman who was a serious brownnoser

I called her "Hoover" as in hoover vaccuum cleaner.

[Guava Jelly]

15. I worked with a guy we called Ru-dale the brownose worker

he had his nose so far up the owners kiester he could tell what he had for dinner the night before

[wildhorses]

16. No but, sometimes I stick my tongue out at them...

:P....try it, it works!

[pagerbear]

17. Two bosses where I used to work

She Who Must Be Obeyed

and

The Red Menace

[Patiod]

18. Just neighbors

We've nicknamed the neighbors in our little compound (2 old mansions, barns, stables and carriagehouse are all one apartment building)

We have "Dental Guy", his girlfriend from South Africa "Cellphone Girl", The Vietnam "Vet", "Motorcycle Guy", "The Weird Gay Guys", ", and we used to have "Princess" and "The Minkies" (they owned a fur salon)

We suspect that we are either "The Big People" (I'm 5'11", my SO is a 6'1" weightlifter) or "the Deck People".

[LostinVA]

19. Yes! giggle

[Sequoia]

20. I have a few

Ellie May

Buzzard Boy

Proud Pigeon

[ThomCat]

25. Yes, but mostly they're just expletives.

I used to have co-workers who were a clique of ego-maniacle, arrogant, plotters and schemers. They actively tried to get me fired because I did fit into their frat-boy antics. I have outlasted all of them.

[querelle]

26. Yep

One woman is a secretary to a senior executive and walks around likes she owns the place. Her last name is Crete (pronounced crite). In French Canadian slang, the word for turd is crut (pronounced croot). Needless to say, we all call her Madame Crut behind her back.

Q

[SOteric]

28. OhHECKyeah.

Let's see, - we have "The Cobra," Zipperhead, Scorch, Vino, GITNO (Guy in the next office), Wolfman, Tigressa, WhiteBoy, Little Brother and Rumbleseat. But in truth, most of us know our nicknames and they're rarely employed behind one another's back.

[SKKY]

29. Oh yes. But, they're way too offensive to post here...

...we are sailors after all.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

30. We once named a dance after a coworker.

Her name was Danica, so it became the Danica dance.

You see, if no one was around, she would do this dorky little dance, like Elaine on Seinfeld, on more subdued. After catching her doing this a few times, we decided to check out how often she did it. Thanks to the security cameras (which we honestly just used to watch people do dumb shit and occaisionally spook coworkers by suddenly talking out of the camera, if their head was really close to it or something) we learned that she did her dance every single time she was the only person around. So we started calling it the Danica Dance.

One day, I was in the back aisle with a coworker and we started doing the Danica Dance with each other and Danica caught us.

As for actual nicknames, we've had Filth, Christo (or Jesus or Tarzan), Big Kate, Good Kate, Pervert (or Mo the Homo) and the Farter.

[Sequoia]

36. That was really funny. What did she do when she caught you

doing her dance?

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

37. She just got this horrified look on her face and stomped back

to the cash register. It might have made us bad managers, but we just couldn't resist.

[Sequoia]

39. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. I need a glass of water.

[RevCheesehead]

31. Because I don't have any co-workers,

I assign nicknames to DUers instead.

Sometimes, they're nice.
Sometimes, they're snarky.

And no, I won't divulge any here. :P

[redqueen]

32. nope

i'm not creative like that

i do imagine what their personal lives are like though

does that mean i have issues?

[El Fuego]

33. The Evil Monkey

But I don't say it out loud.

[Tripper11]

34. We use nicknames to talk about people....

Me and several co-workers make up names with "6 Degrees of seperation" so we don't get caught if people are lurking!
We have "Canadian Recon" <---Me who watches one door while another watches a 2nd door.
We stop talking when the subject broaches the area....but it's fun because we all have them down cold and anyone that walks in on the conversation has no idea what's going on!

[Skittles]

35. Salad Toss and Rim Job are regulars on a conference call

for obvious reasons I cannot give their real names but you would laugh

[NoPasaran]

38. Oh yeahhhhhhhh

Started back in the EIghties when I worked for the Three Stooges.

[Dukkha]

40. Brownshirt Bitch

reserved for a lunatic Jesus freak freeper who keeps a bible and an 8 x 10 glossy photo of * on her desk
:puke:

while working a company sponsored festival a couple came to the booth and were speaking spanish and she said "why can't these people speak English here"


...this was at a Latino heritage festival.
