I'm not called obct anywhere else, but at around the time I joined this forum, I had just been for my one any only physical check up, and the quack told me that based on my BMI, I was obese.

I told her that I could always shed some weight, but she would always be an ugly biatch

Mark ?Afghanistan? Waugh
It?s easy to forget now, but before Mark Waugh became a mainstay in the Australian cricket team, he toiled away for NSW without getting a call-up to the national team. At one point, he held the record for most first class runs scored without playing an international match. This was all done while his brother, Steve, was scoring runs and taking wickets for Australia, and generally being hailed a superstar. Hence Mark was coined ?Afghanistan?. As in, ?The Forgotten War??

Mark ?Junior? Waugh
Yes, he gets two mentions on the list. Despite being twins, Mark was technically born after Steve, just a few seconds later. And hence earned the nickname ?Junior?.

?One Size? Fitz Hall
What more needs to be said? The English footballer, who plays central defender, has perhaps the best nickname of all time.

?Oswald? ? Brett Lee
For a short time, Brett Lee batted behind Shane Lee and Ian Harvey in the Australian one day team. During this time, whenever captain Steve Waugh read out the players surnames for the batting line-up prior to a game, Brett Lee would be called ?Oswald?. Think about it?
Due to extenuating circumstances (Shane Lee and Ian Harvey were dropped soon after), the ?Oswald? nickname never stuck. Instead Brett earned the less clever moniker of ?Bing?.

?SOS? ? Stephen Silvagni
Whilst he went on to be the AFL fullback of the century, Silvagni was originally ?just? the son of former Carlton great, Serge Silvagni. Hence SOS, short for
?Son of Serge?.

?Duncan Disorderly? ? Duncan Ferguson
With four convictions of assault and jail time on his list of achievements, it?s no wonder the Scottish footballer is often referred to as Duncan Disorderly.

?The Rawalpindi Express? ? Shoaib Akhtar
He was from Rawalpindi. He was bloody fast. Enough said.

?Waltzing? Matt Hilder
Brilliant. If you don?t get it, sing Australia?s unofficial anthem.

Michael ?Air? Jordan
This nickname was so appropriate that Nike proceeded to produce a shoe by the same name. In 1985, the first model alone netted US$130 million, and
since then, Nike has released a new model each year. Despite Jordan retiring many years ago, the 2010 model retailed for US$170 a pair.

?Whispering Death? ? Michael Holding
Due to his quiet, soft approach to the bowling crease, umpires couldn?t hear his footsteps when he ran in, and therefore dubbed Holding ?Whispering Death?. Batsmen feared facing him, with his smooth action and extremely fast release, and universally concurred with the nickname.

?The Incredible Sulk? ? Nicholas Anelka
Long before the French striker was sent home in disgrace from the 2010 World Cup for arguing with his coach (with a pleasant tirade of: ?Go f**k yourself, you filthy son of a bitch?), he earned this nickname for being moody, lackadaisical and, quite obviously, sulking.

Martin ?Chariots? Offiah
If you don?t remember the English rugby league winger, all you need to know is that he was fast, and his surname was pronounced ?of fire??

?Anthems? ? Chris Whitaker
The Australian rugby union halfback spent the best part of his career as a back-up to George Gregan. Of course, when you back-up one of the best halfbacks of all time, who also happens to hold the world record for games played, your contribution to the team is generally limited to lining up with your teammates to hear the national anthems being played prior to the match.
For the exact same reasons above, he was also nicknamed ?Hobo? ? because he didn?t need to shower after games.

It was when I went to South America - spent 10.5 months there and after a month or so a mate joined me. We were spending our days surfing and nights trying our luck. Paul kept getting annoyed as he had to keep repeating both our names in the bars of Brazil - it was our lack of Portuguese that was probably the real issue Anyway, so we decided that we needed travelling names - he became Pablo and I became Ted. Simple names that no one could farrrrk up so we could spend the majority of our time working our magic. I must say South America is a really good spot to travel

I took too long to post it and you got in a minute before me

Anywho, I just luv pretending to be a Spanish or Portuguese speaker trying to say your real name and then you say to them, "Just call me Ted" then they get a big smile on their faces and go "Oh, ello Ted"
