Had a teacher at Middle School who had bad acne scars, he was known as "planish". Mate of mine is Johnny Onespeed. No matter what he is doing it's always at about 20% slower than anyone else.

Fingerbum - purely a matter of taste whether that's the wrong place or not (and I'm not suggesting anyone taste his finger).
Gay dave - perhaps he's just lighthearted and carefree?
One of my old bosses was John Ling - known (not necessarily to his face) as Dinger. I can't believe the Liverpool manager isn't known by all and sundry as 'Klipetty'?

Nah at the time we were all about 14 maybe 15 and that was definitely a no no then. He wiped his finger under one of my mates noses who just said 'it smells like shit Paul' and he reckons all the scrubbing in the world never rid him of that smell

With the ladies up here mate, he still wouldn't be sure where he'd stuck it...
I work with a fella called Bankjob. So-called because he used to play a lot of rugby and he's got this squashed nose and disfigured ears which makes him look like he's permanently wearing a blaggers stocking.
One of the old fitters I worked with, Lou ,was carrying out a job on a jacket water system at the top of a large office tower. After he'd finished the job he started to refill the system but left the hose running while he went off to do another job. During that time he completely forgot about the tank he was refilling until 3 hours later!
On his return the offices ,stairwell and lift shaft were awash!
They still call him 'Waterloo' to this day.
That sounds remarkably similar to a story that my father in law, also known as 'Lew', tells. Where was this?
Two teachers spring to mind. Shakin' Stevens, a skinny alcoholic music teacher with constant DTs, and 'Two Fingered Steve', another music teacher whose piano playing style resembled his nickname.
Can't remember the back story any more but a guy I worked with years ago ended up being called 'Dogboy' in one bantering sesh and it just stuck. Still gets called it today.
On account of my name and stature part of me thinks 'Big Dick' would be a good nickname, but @cubicles would only misappropriate it to 'That Big Dick' or something...
At one of my old workplaces, a guy was known as 'Teapot' because he short and stout.
Also got a mate who even 20 years later is still only ever referred to as 'Chicken' because he was too scared to go on one of the rides at Thorpe Park as kid

When I played Sunday league years ago, I played centre forward, and normally I scored lots of goals, but one season I started poorly, and hadn’t scored yet after 10 matches, so I was nicknamed ‘Gobi’ as in the desert - I eventually got back to scoring regularly (I ended up top goal scorer again that season) but the bloody nickname stuck
There is a bloke I played with who I still see occasionally, and he still calls me Gobi
The season in question was 1990/91 for fucks sake !!!

Apparently from a long trailing white dress she wore but I suspect a different reason?
Nickname: Stenhouse
