My friend Mike in Australia heard some hilarious breakfast radio last week. In Australia, especially building sites, apprentice. workers often give each other nicknames. Sometimes really cruel, but also funny.
Sensor Light – he only works when someone walks past.
Noodles – he reckons every job takes 2 minutes.
The Olympic flame – coz he never goes out.
The Sniper’s Nightmare– has one leg shorter than the other.
Keth because he had one eye missing.
Clock has a big hand and a small hand.
Wicket Keeper puts on the gloves and stands back.
Break pad– gets worn out easily and starts to squeal.
Grenade – he’s always the first to go off.
Deck chair – always folds under pressure
Lantern – not very bright and always has to be carried.
Blister – only appears after the hard work is done.
Daisy – some days he’s here, some days he’s not.
Seaweed – floats around all day and stinks.
G-spot – you can never find him.
Master Card – somebody who takes credit for other people’s work.
Feta – crumbles under pressure.
Hostage someone who’s always tied up and can’t help.
Platypus – protected species aka the boss’ son.
Pothole – is always in the road.
Pluto – far out and not very bright.
Broken arrow – doesn’t work and can’t be fired.
Two stroke – hard to get started and constantly smokes.
I hope you enjoyed these. If you like Mike’s humour he can be found having a pint in the Pig’s Arms (https://pigsarms.com.au/)
