Nicknames In School


Recommended Posts

Occasionally it was 'Wolfie', as in 'Citizen Smith'  (if you're old enough to remember that).

 

One lad called me 'Irish' as my great-great-great grandmother came over from there.

 

Most of the time it was Smithy.   In the main, kids aren't known for their originality.  😀

Our lads mate at school was nicknamed Spud . When I asked our lad if he was called that because he was Irish he said no , it’s because his head is shaped like a potato   😂

Lass at my school had a deformed hand, A thumb and a little finger, with nothing in between.

Every body called her "Spanner"

Kids can be very cruel.

In the 50s in one of the kids comics was a character called "Little Plum"

 

There was a lad at school who wasn't as tall as the rest of us, so he got the nickname Little Plum.

 

As far as I know he's still called Plum <surname> now, after all this time.
