Nicknames

[Clint]

Must admit there is the occasional one I see and think “ WTF” but never say anything as I’ll look like a fool.

I'm with you MFB. Thought I'd be labelled "not a true supporter" if I asked who these weird and wonderful names were referring to. Glad I'm not the only one.
Great thread btw @Budgewoi Eagle

Mine is "Chariots" Offiah...

I also liked Petrol's Seventy-Cents-a-Litre (Petro Civoniceva), Rodney "Needles" Howe and Dan "Underpants" Stains...

I recon Tommy turbos nickname will soon be changed to "injured"

As in, where's their fullback.. oh, he's injured

I thought FOD as in foreign object damage apparently the number 1 cause of turbo failure..

Once I worked out "Tent" I thought "Wig Wam" would be a good development of his nickname haha

A man goes to the pychologist being all anxious. The Dr. notices that the poor man isn't right within hmself and asks "what's the problem?, tell me whats going on". The man was slightly reluctant to answer but finally he said "Doc, when I got up yesterday morning, I swear I was a teepee. And again this morning, I felt like I was a wigwam.....I'm at my wits end and don't understand whats this means". The Dr. looks curiously at the man for a while and replied "You don't need to worry, you are just too tense".

Ok, I'm logging off now, back tomorrow.

Me & my mates used to watch SOO & grand finals with the TV sound off & Roy & HG on the radio accompanying it.
