Kidding, right?
Orright, Bedders is right, we need a thread where we can contribute players' nicknames (a) so we all know who TF posters are talking about and (b) so that the abundance of virtuosic wordsmiths that are such a frequently remarked-upon feature of the Swans board can get to dazzle us all with their rapier-like wit and alluring japery.

I've only got a few but I'm sure there's plenty I've forgotten and anyway, I've no doubt this will rapidly spin completely out of control.

Have at it!


1. Chad Warner = GigaChad

5. Isaac Heeney = Bik, Lamborg, Tortel, Mussoll, Fetish, Bocconch, Lingw,... must be dozens of Italian words that would work.

7. Harry Cunningham = Hakka

8. James Rowbottom = Rowbum

11. Tom Papley = Paps

12. Angus Sheldrick = Gus

16. Braeden Campbell = BJ

17. James Jordon = JJ

21. Errol Gulden = The Gulden Boy, The Young Turk

22. Nick Blakey = The Lizard

24. Dane Rampe = Sir Dane

26. Riley Bice = Miami

27. Justin McInerney = J-Mac

30. Tom McCartin = T-Mac

33. Caiden Cleary = CC

35. Charlie Curnow = Cheryl

36. Joel Amartey = The Amartey Party

43. Lewis Melican = Meli, The Pelican

44. Jake Lloyd = HUHLLLLLLLLLLOOOOOOYYYYYD (OK, maybe only BT calls him that)

Number 1 is wrong
 
I’m sure I recall someone referred to Adams as Tay Tay.

I hope I’m wrong.

McLean is Dossa.

Wicks is Candles.

Ladhams Pistol.

I’m not sure if Grundy can be “Reg”, as I think it was already allocated to Heath?

Cleary is chips.

Chips is good, I like that.

Probs going to show my ignorance of pop culture now, but can you explain Dossa?

Actually, give him his full title, Ladhams is Pistol Pete.

Ladhams could also be Family.

I like Tay Tay.

James Rowbottom - Rowie or Paddlebum
Justin McInerney - Juzza - not very creative but .. We may need to think of something that's matching his new profile - i.e. "Toots" - toots his own horn but also follows through;-)

Can we get a glossary for some of Bedders terms too pls? I still don't know what GWR stands for or which team 'scum' is.
He needs his own spectrum when it comes to nicknames for people.

"Rex Hunt"
"Henry the Third"


"Oxygen Thief"

"Rat"



"Poindexter"
"Champ"




"He's alright"


"Great bloke"
