Have you ever had a nickname?
I had two or three over the years.In Junior School I was known as Cuthbert.
Because I looked like a TV character in Cuthbert and Claude.
I cannot remember the programme.
I will have to google it.
To my daughter and her friends, I was known as Captain Underpants. This was (is) I frequently lounge in the house in just my underpants. This is Ok to do this but I sometimes have to hurry to find my shorts if there is a delivery to sign for.
But I did have a bit of a problem with a neighbour, who complained to the police when I went out into the garden to the rubbish bin. I had a visit from the support officers and told to be a little bit more discreet.
In work, I was known as Rumour Control because of my tendency to gossip and not keep secrets.

You can draw your own conclusions as to why I was labelled with that

Re: Have you ever had a nickname?
I was called "Wrecker" for a while at the laboratory because the piece of equipment I was using on my first day broke down and noone there knew how to repair it. Fortunately I did but didn't have the tools needed so, one of the maintenance men and I worked on it together (he was insured to do the work, I wasn't at the time) and fixed it in a couple of hours - and that included machining a new part.

Re: Have you ever had a nickname?
In my young teens I played softball with the neighborhood kids, had a good arm and was tagged 'Scorch', Debbie Reynolds came to our town (her hubby, Harry Karl owned a shoe company in our town), signed autographs for us, and my pic reads To Scorch).In my 30s I opened a hair salon, was tagged "Sarge" as the coworkers were younger than me and I was the go to person for advice.
