Team Member Nicknames

[kinnell]

Abhi's thread in Off-topic gave me the idea for this:

A lot of teams get team merchandise like track jackets or hoodies which allows them to get nicknames. Sometimes members pick their own nicknames and sometimes the team votes on a single one for each member. What's your nickname on your team(s)?

It doesn't have to be for team merchandise, but can even be something for something you're known for or something you did. How did you get this name?

Mine is Bhangre Da badSHAH for Spartan Bhangra. Being captain, "Captain Bhangra Da" was overused and Badshah not only works with my last name Shah but was one of my favorite Bollywood movies.

 

[Nikhil]

My nicknames: Nik Nak, Old Man, Johnson

I got them from my beloved friends making fun of me, and from flaring my nostrils with my caterpillar eyebrows. Oh yes.

The guy was drunk...and dances with fat chicks, the fact he remembered AVAP and shared it with us...that's all that matters.

And for our team, I don't think we have nicknames. The girls have various names for things...i don't get them half the time. But i know Jap has some great ways to SAY names. "JAAAAAAAAAAAAAAP"

[Saleem]

lol i think the best one @ Cornell is Majaj... We danced to Bhangra punjabiyan ne in 05, and the key line ends in "...ni [something, jayae] vekhe majajne, bhangra punjabiyan ne pauna...." sorry i forgot the line

so we started calling Vivek, "Viveke Majajne", then "Majajne" and now just "majaj"

Some non-bhangra ppl started saying "Majaj i looked for you on facebook why arent you there" cuz no one knew his real name lol so now he's Vivek "majaj" Yedavalli on facebook

 

[Waleed]

Some non-bhangra ppl started saying "Majaj i looked for you on facebook why arent you there" cuz no one knew his real name lol so now he's Vivek "majaj" Yedavalli on facebook

So true, I for one am guilty as charged.
