My basketball coach nicknamed me this because I always ended up on the court because I hustled for the ball so much. The court was made out of pine...hence my nickname.
"Whabu"- some kid in seventh grade called me this accidentally trying to pronounce my real name and it ended up sticking. Close relatives still call me by it once in a while.
There was Tom, which my mom gave me because of my curly red hair. She thought I looked like Thomas Jefferson.
Then people have called me these at different times...
1) hoss, because of my size
2) wolfman, because of my bike's paintjob.
3) preacher, when I rode with some people, because I would not cuss, drink or smoke.
I'm sure their are others that people said behind my back.
"FABIO" I hate it 6'2" long blond hair. Calling me this sometimes ends in a fight. Not always fun. Got sucker punched by an off duty cop in a titty bar.
"Hollywood" by my friends tall, blond, & an '89 911 Turbo Cabriolet boasting 500hp. (just had to brag)
My friends and family call me BUD. Yeah, don't laugh! My coach and friends in school also use to call me bare chest and traps becuase thier my biggest muscles that are the stockest.
When pitching baseball I was a big guy throwing the ball hard with no control. Hitting a couple of players every game. First baseman from another team I hit twice in the same game. He started screaming at me, and called me Magilla Gorilla, and the rest of the team thought it was so funny it stuck. For years.
