do you have nicknames for ppl at work? If so, what are they?

― MarkH (MarkH), Monday, 26 April 2004 20:43 (twenty-two years ago)

I suppose this is more common in big open plan offices with hundreds of ppl, like mine. Where it is quite common not to know the real names of ppl who walk past your desk every day.

"Camal toe" was one of our classics until Cosmopolitan started bandying it about. Oh, and she found out.

i work with, "the system"

we used to have "the frito kid" until the day he actually earned his nickname and was canned

and then there was "hud". he got his ass fired too

and there was a guy i would always call "brian fellows" but his real name was john. one day i passed him in the hallway and said, "hi brian" by mistake. he got tossed out of here as well.

and the last one i can remember was "telephone", she got let go when we downsized but then she came back as a contractor and then left when she got a ft job somewhere else

what was he a doctor of?

― MarkH (MarkH), Wednesday, 28 April 2004 06:50 (twenty-two years ago)

I've now changed jobs and floors, so it's possible that there'll be a whole load of new work nicknames to discover now.

― MarkH (MarkH), Wednesday, 28 April 2004 07:09 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm going to assign everybody in the room secret nicknames today.
Clockwise from noon: Chappy, Loralei, Hobnobbery, Fuckface, Fuckface Jr, Captain Fuckface of the Fuckface Brigade, Jeanne, EarthaKitt4005, Capt. Corelli's Mandolin, Ernest, Dimwit, Intern, Steve.

― The Huckle-Buck (Horace Mann), Wednesday, 28 April 2004 13:55 (twenty-two years ago)

One of the assistants here used to call the office manager "herpes" simply because he thought it was funny. He got fired a long time ago. The office manager left a while back.

― Jeanne Fury (Jeanne Fury), Wednesday, 28 April 2004 14:01 (twenty-two years ago)

what was he a doctor of?
-- MarkH

I'm assuming the doc is her obgyn but you never know with these people.

― metfigga (metfigga), Wednesday, 28 April 2004 17:58 (twenty-two years ago)

"these people"?

― Donna Brown (Donna Brown), Wednesday, 28 April 2004 18:00 (twenty-two years ago)

Doctors.

― The Huckle-Buck (Horace Mann), Wednesday, 28 April 2004 18:02 (twenty-two years ago)

― Donna Brown (Donna Brown), Wednesday, 28 April 2004 18:13 (twenty-two years ago)

I acquired the Nickalicious nickname when a drunk-on-red-wine server tried to adress me as Nicholas with much slurring.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Wednesday, 28 April 2004 18:18 (twenty-two years ago)

"these people"?

"these people" are the people that write in asking us to help them. they're far too often terrifyingly crazy when you consider they either have kids or have a kid on the way.

― metfigga (metfigga), Wednesday, 28 April 2004 18:19 (twenty-two years ago)

i'll start a thread and every once in a while i'll post some of the emails that best exemplify this

it'll be called "these people are ridiculous"

At university, there were these two Scandinavian girls who would sit together in the SU bar. We didn't know their names, never ended up speaking to them, but they got called Turkey Apple and Gas Giant because that's what they looked like.
