There was a girl at work known as ‘The prawn’. She had a really tasty body but you just wanted to rip her head off.
i call one of the bar tenders at my local 3 back... he's asked many times over the years why i call him this but ive not told him..
A friend of mine recently referred to his sister as Jeep. Given she's small and dumpy I thought this term of endearment was shape driven. Nope he explained "she's got four kids by four different fathers, so she's a 4x4"
I've a mate known as "chainsaw mick". Bit of a lad back in the day, bare knuckle fighting etc. He was told some previous run in had a gun and wanted revenge. He eventually tracked them down to a pub in High Wycombe. Mick didn't have access to a gun, so he went in with a running chainsaw. Apparently it was all just a rumours and the guy didn't have a gun or any appetite for revenge. 30 years ago, but the name stuck.

Piece. (as in sandwich) Nuff. (as in enough already) Spam. chcky dude strawbs. he has a head the shape of a strawberry. Bimbo. obvious reasons jimmy the hat. dude always wears a cap. jimmy the Poll. he worked on the roads and held the stop go sign jimmy the bum. you name it, he's done it. all of them.
