Do women have nicknames?

[crump]

in another thread I noticed the use of a nickname for a mate and it got me thinking.I know a few mates that I refer to as things such as Boodoo, Toecutter, Puso, TeeTot, Woody, Ohhmate,Pelican etc..I never call them by their real name, but do the ladies do this? You dont seem to hear your missus refer to her girlfriends in this manner, why is that? Is it just a blokey thing?

[sschmez]

Nah......

I had a girl once that I never called anything but ...

GRUMPY:mad:

Mates thought it was wierd, but they didn't live with her.....
traded her for a newer model and it's been a good thing since

:D :D :D

[harro]

Yes, Wench. But it hurts every time I say it:D:D:D:D

[Blknight.aus]

they Sure do.. I call connie SWMBO..

guarentees I have her attention, shes usually looking about for me to clock me on the back of the noggin after I call it out.

[gruntfuttock]

One thing I do not call mine is
Late for dinner. If I did WWIII would start

[hiline]

my wife and her friends call each other Slappers:eek:


arghhhhhhh she's nothing but a slapper :angel:

It is my understanding it is all relative to alcohol consumption...and how bigger hole you want to dig

[Grizzly_Adams]

well please do, but does anyones missus talk about their female friends as "Fat Shaz" or "Doinky" or whatever? Mine doesn't!

[MarknDeb]

They dont use nicknames for each other because they are far more civilised than we males, well thats what Deb just told me after asking the question. Then maybe do you think it could be because we have these mates longer than a woman has most friends ?????? this should get a bite, lol

[Bigbjorn]

What about names conferred on ex-wives? Do these count as nick-names?

[p38arover]

I call my wife "Beautiful" or "Gorgeous" - seriously - and I've been married for over 36 years. If it's not one of these, it is her full name, Elisabeth, not Libby, or Beth, or Lis, or Betty, etc.

I've never heard her call any friend by a nickname. None of my 6 sisters have nicknames as far as I'm aware. Wait. I lie. My twin has always been called "Blossom" by my parents. I won't tell you what my parents called me. My work colleagues gave me a very un-PC name over 40 years ago and they still call me by that name. (It's funny how you can still be mates with blokes after 40+ years).

It was after we'd been out for a p***-up and had a group photo taken (we were 2nd Year trainees (apprentices) at the time). I'd been working for a concreter mate over the summer holidays so I had a really dark tan (I have olive skin). In the photo I was quite dark compared to everyone else.

When one of my colleagues took the photo home, his old man said "Who's the Boong?" :eek: (Can you imagine how people react these days when I'm called that? :D )

I have a friend called Cate, but she is mostly known as Buzz or the Buzzard. I know a girl called Jess who is often called DC (Drunk Chick, she calls herself that).

[Redback]

Bum breath, Dumbo, dork features, short rs, all terms of indearment:D i've been called worse:mad: ;)

[Grizzly_Adams]

one of the girls at work calls me Sister Dick!!

One of my sisters who is a nurse use to be called "Sister Hitler" by her staff because she ran such a tight ship :eek:

[coobertouring]

My wife and her friend just about have a nickname to everyone they know, its hard to keep up with who is who. Some of the names are B1 and B2, slapper, happy sacks and even horse teeth. When they use these names I get totally lost in the conversation. I wonder how they remember them all.

[matt4x4]

I have one for my ex............... but I wouldnt be able to put that on here:wasntme:

[DEFENDERZOOK]

i dont know if they have nick names.....but i rarely use their proper names.....
i got a habit of giving them nicknames....

my wife = mad
my sister = granny
other sister = fuzz
daughter = missy
son = junior

i could also give you the nicknames i gave to some of my staff at work if you like.....

[dobbo]

A lot of women are too temperamental to use them, or to spineless to use them to the persons face, there for they wouldn't get used as much as the men.

For instance, here are a few names of a few of my mates, could you imagine women using these for eachother


The Gimp (shortish)
Fathead
CG (he was 3/4 wog)
The Predator (just plain ugly as sin)
Dalmation (not very politically correct but he was of mixed decent)
The horse (obvious reasons really)These are all names based on a physical characteristic, women just wouldn't do this and still be mates with eachother

I knew of a women known as the hot dog queen but thats a different story alltogether.

[Blknight.aus]

The horse (obvious reasons really)

What, he had a tail and wore a saddle?

[zwitter]

I knew a girl who called herself DD, I thought it was Dee Dee but one night when she had had a few i learnt it stood for Dunny Door as in b___s like a DD in a cyclone!!! Weird?

Another few i know. generally people i worked with or drank with more often over the years.

Zorba, yep she is greek.
Flaps...nope, just big ears fellas.
Fred just because?

Dub as in VeeDub cause every friday and saturday night she would get ****ed, sha__d by some guy she picked up in the back of the Dub then left unconcious in the back. Often aroused by the constabulary in the mornings. Pity as she was a stunner. Funny she married a cop.

K-tel She had a thing for gadgets in the boudoir!
Roxy still do not know why.
TC Two cans... of beer her limit.
jugs Flat as an ironing board.
rat short for spunk rat but only the rat bit stuck.

My wife and i have a few, she called our daughter possom until we went to NZ for a holiday. They hunt and kill them as a pest over there,

I think they are just less common or less often heard by us guys and in no way cleaner or nicer than the blokes.
