Seeking new Nicknames

BleacherBum · 04-24-2003, 02:43 AM

The Nicknames file (nicknames.dat) has a great collection of 300+ names. I'd like to add some more. What are your favorites, that aren't already listed in there?

Here's a few I came up with...

Lefty
Dusty
Moose
Stick
Pee Wee
The Hit Man
The Crusher
Bam Bam
Bye Bye
Big Time
Ant Killer
Pigpen
Waterboy
Molasses
Piano Man
Easy Out

Folderol · 04-24-2003, 06:28 AM

How about....(without looking at the .dat file - why spoil the fun?)

"Happy Meal"
"Hot Plate"
"Swiper"
"Riverdog"
"The Swamp Fox"
"Shock And Awe"
"Nuke" (is that in there?)
"Pantless Pete" (hey, if there can be a Shoeless Joe...)
"Babaloo"
"Mommy"
"Uncle"
"Da Punisher"

...I apparently haven't had enough sleep

LOL

Maybe I WILL look at that .dat file

I always called Shawon Dunston "Rally Slayer" when he was with the Giants.

For Vinny Castilla, "Sucking Vortex of Doom."

But that's too long.

Just about every member of the beta team had something to do with the names in that file. There's no telling where those came from.

Is there a # of characters limit to a nickame? Would "Death to Flying Things" be too long?

Gastric ReFlux · 04-24-2003, 03:58 PM
