Anybody have any strange/funny/interesting nicknames in real life? And tell the story behind it! :D

KBABZ isn't a nickname for me, but the story behind that is that it's an acronym of the main characters in my story:

Koise
Booger
Aiko
Bob
Zoe

It was the old name for my story, and now the current one is Outcast. I used KBABZ because on GameFAQs (the first forum place I signed up to) it wouldn't accept my highscore name, which is (:|3!.@[\]|{: ) (it says Blank in symbols), and it wouldn't accept my true nickname, The Dirty Dutchman, because it was too long. The Dirty Dutchman came when a friend of a friend said once during P.E. 'Aah! It's the Dirty Dutchman!' and the name's stuck ever since. It's fitting, because I am Dutch, and I would personally skip washing. Also gives me reason to gloat that I'm the cousion of the Flying Dutchman.

Nah, I ain't French. My moustasche doesn't curl up, and I like Marmite.

Don't the French like Marmite? How odd, I thought everyone liked it. :D

Everyone around me HATES Marmite, while I absolutely LOVE it! I once had a Marmite sandwich sprinkled with grated cheese once. I forgot the garlic though. Sorry One-Wing.

The Fat Bloke In The Corner.

I addressed this name in a history lesson 2 years ago. We used these keyboards called "Alphasmart" and I was on my own in the corner, plus I'm on the round side, so I made that name up and put it after my essay. 8)

Although, nobody uses this name as much. :(

I've been called "the Brain" not just because I was smart but because I like that character on the Animaniacs.

I've also been called Lisa from the simsons (I'm a guy). The story behind this one is pretty long. Two of my friends went fishing with one of their grandparents. One of them wined so much that the grandmother called him "sally". Soon my other friend got the nickname "susie". It was only a matter of time before they made a name for me so they choose the name lisa from the Simsons.

My grandfather pinned several nicknames to me:

Corkey-Monsters (claimed I was afraid of monsters. Do not know where he got this notion.)

Corkey-Plyers (I am strong and he compared my strength to a giant pair of plyers. While this nickname had good intentions, it was strange to be called this.)

My classmates called me several:

Cork

Corky

Cor-Cor
