We all care how you are WCW

You’re a sweetheart, fd. 💕

But let’s be honest, it’s more important how Clarrie is… even to me! 😅

Most of the nicknames we already know well (Tracc, Clarrie, etc.) but these are nicknames that some may not be familiar with:

4. Knuckles - Judd McVee

6. Duke - Caleb Windsor

8. Ricky - Jake Lever

14. Jibba - Jack Billings

16. Bill - Bailey Laurie

19. Shaq - Josh Schache

21. Jeffo- Matthew Jefferson

22. Howesie - Blake Howes

32. Spaz - Tom Sparrow

37. Chin - Kade Chandler

38. Ollie - Oliver Sestan

41. Pup - Kynan Brown

42. Disco - Daniel Turner

Then there’s some players whose nicknames I’ve yet to hear: Tom Fullarton, Jed Adams, Will Verrall, Kyah Farris-White, Lachie Hunter, Shane McAdam).

Thanks so much WCW, that’s a great list. However, I’d like to have a list of ALL nicknames regardless of whether we should know them well or not, as it’s a record that’s a more informal view of our playing list (and future playing lists)… it doesn’t need to be for just this season, it can be an ongoing record… indefinitely.

Can I create a post from this and pin it to the top of the forum, or do I need to somehow get permission from Demonland or other moderator?

Sneak? I don’t do sneak. I couldn’t sneak if I tried. 😂

Besides, a 6-hour round trip says nah. I’m sure P. Fence will submit a comprehensive report.

The Duke is my fave moniker.

At training I've heard Sestan called Sesso and Tholstrup called Kolt.....

[Guest]

🤔… I just tried to post a full list of players and their nicknames but it seems the post is pending approval. That usually happens when there’s a questionable word such as the shortened name for Richard, which can also be a derogatory term. The only ‘offending’ word I can think of is ‘Spaz’ (Tommy Sparrow) 🤷‍♀️ 

It’s a good thing we don’t have Jason Horne-Francis in our side. His nickname is Horney 😂

Edit: all good. It’s been approved. 🙂

Thanks, Jontee. I’ve added it.

@WalkingCivilWar It was held up for another players name namely J Smith because we have to moderate posts about him because posters wouldn’t head our requests not to post about his case.

Excellent work WCW… thanks so much. Now all I need to do is figure out how I can ‘pin’ a post on the Forum board, @Demonland?

Members can't pin a post on the Forum. Only Moderators have that ability.

So I should just make the post as a normal post, and ask a moderator if they could pin it, assuming of course they think it is pin worthy? Could I save time by asking you now if it is indeed pin worthy or that I’m wasting my time😁

6. Duke - Caleb Windsor

 

2 hours ago, leave it to deever said:

The Duke is my fave moniker.

It's my least favourite. The only current well known Royal Windsor who is a Duke is Harry. I don't think that's a worthy reference for him. I would have preferred Prince. 

Here's some trivia about the current British Royal family's surnames. For those interested read on. The rest, read no further. 

The last actual Duke of Windsor was King Edward VIII who abdicated to marry Wallis Simpson and who was a Nazi supporter. The Queen banned the use of the title Duke of Windsor throughout her reign. Of course Windsor is a made up name. 

The Royal surname Windsor is actually made up. All the European Royals are inbred. The current Royal family originally had a Germain background and up until 1917 their surname was Saxe-Coburg Gotha. Because of the anti German sentiment in WWI they changed it to Windsor. Prince Phillip's surname which would normally have followed on to his children and Grand Children etc was  Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glücksburg. When he married the Queen he was pressured to change to his mother's surname Mountbatten also because of anti German sentiment this time after WW2. He was originally named Philippos Andreou. Phillip was very upset that his children would not have his surname as they were only to have the surname Windsor but in 1960 he had a Royal decree enacted so his children's surname would be Mountbatten Windsor.

Harry and Meaghan while rejecting their roles in the Royal family ostensibly primarily because of the public scrutiny have insisted on keeping their Royal titles Duke and Duchess of Sussex. Surely if you wanted to avoid the Royal scrutiny the first thing you would do is drop the Royal title. Bizarrely in the context of surnames they have given their children the surname Sussex not either of their actual surnames but still a surname linked to their Royal titles. Go figure. 

But I digress. Caleb is already a star after two games. He deserves an equivalent nickname to the player he most reminds me of....Robbie but Calebby doesn't work. So bring on Prince.

But what about John Wayne, the Duke of Earl, or Duke Ellington?

Yes, he adopted that nickname because wasn’t keen on ‘Marion’.
