What's my favorite kind of prank? Nickname, and I don't lie. I couldn't stop laughing at some of these.
The UK is famous for its cruel sense of humor (especially at work) and love for its nicknames.
Some nicknames are absolutely not gushing from anywhere and will stick to you for the rest of your life. But others are nothing but absolute geniuses.
The Reddit thread was discussing the greatest nickname ever, but howling in one comment.
“There are some funny items on Johnny Vaughan's radio show where people write these. My favorite was the Broke called Spider…
After going through the (pretty dark) corner of the internet, we took the freedom to create our favorite nicknames – they are hilarious:
“We call it 'potholes' at work. Because everyone is trying to avoid him. ”
“My companion is the 'exorcist'. When he came to ask for a beer, all spirits were gone. ”
I asked listeners to share my nickname.
