Someone thick as shit - Jonny No Stars

Miserable twat - Rigsby or Harry Cross

Entitled posh git - Fauntleroy.

Shipyards in the seventies had them all . Knicknames given for life, most you never knew their real names.Spare Pie, Zambezi Bob, porno Jim, Joe the duck , The Ironeater, Shagger, Fat Oxo , The wasp,Wacky Jacky,Lumpy Heed,The Dibbler and many more.Most self explanatory ask your fathers if they were down the yards .
 
Prompted by a post by @Harry Angstrom, what names do you call your mates when they do anything different from the norm?

I realise some of these might age me.:lol:

Spending a bit more money than usual (buying an extra round etc) - Rockefeller
Couple of holidays planned - Cliff Michelmore or Judith Chalmers
Does a job vaguely involving computers - Bill Gates
Gives an intelligent reply to a question - Einstein
Runs for a bus - Linford Christie
Dances at a wedding - John Travolta
Gets a new haircut - Vidal Sassoon (Vidal Baboon)
Drives fast - Sterling Moss
Deeper voice than usual (usually due to hangover) - Barry White

New clothes or shoes could get any amount of insults depending on what they are.
Obviously these are standards that have stood the test of time but the off the cuff ones that work better.

I've named the lass I go to matches with that. It's used so much by others now that people think she's really called Judith @TAFKAHM @squashjoe @santa @Tin Soldier @Botchie
