[QUOTE="TRF_heineken, post: 517073, member: 40658"] I like that from our heritage actually. Us Saffas like to mock people and that's usually how nicknames come about. I know a guy called Bees, because his dad has one of the biggest Abbatoirs in the country. My brother was with Duane Vermeulen and Jean Deysel in Dromedaris men's hostel at UJ, and everyone there has a nickname, for 2 reasons, 1. The 4th and 5th year's guys don't want to remember their real names, and to give them a nickname makes it easier for them to remember their face when they're drunk. and the other reason it makes them part of the group. I know Jean Deysel's nickname was Wol-Scooter... [/QUOTE]
