for new users of the board. plus for myself. i just ran across a post by Dina and i had no clue who were the players she was referring to. who is KFC? who is Greasy? how did these nicknames come about?

so then i thought maybe we should develop a centralised list of all the nicknames. please update as new nicknames evolve and i'll keep editing this original reference list.

all in good humor folks. if you don't like a nickname given to your fave, relax, and think of a funny one for a rival...;) ;)

i'll kick things off. please correct any of my errors and i'll go back and edit. for example, i'm not clear on who is the "Farmer" and who is the "Chicken" and whether they are one and the same.

and oh because his father is really a potato farmer, I think! There was an article about him in the forum somewhere! :bounce:
 
#10 ·
warfreakbix: i should be spanked. hard! it was I who gave Lee that nickname and started that thread!

Ok this is a lot to update so i'll leave it be until tonite when more others have had their say.

Dina, Federer cannot be the Potato. that is solidly taken by Hewitt. sorry. find another name for his nose...:p
 
#16 ·
lol @ Dina!

sorry visitors, but if you say Potato on this board, everyone (even his fans) will assume that you are referring to Hewitt.

the best FedEx can get is Potato-Too or Potato-2 but that won't work IMO (altho' i put it on the list).

According to Merriam-Webster:

Oaf - a stupid person, a big clumsy slow-witted person

Ermm, he's definitely big and maybe clumsy at times but I would definitely question the slow-witted part (in interviews I guess but in the tennis court he does make me scream JESUS CHRIST at times and I'm not even at church) :p
 
#22 ·
Now this thread made me wonder why Marat never got a nickname in the forum, well except the Oaf! Which is intriguing hmmm......
 
#25 ·
the nice thing about nicknames is that you don't have to use them if they don't make sense to you. Oaf only became funny to me after Dina gave the dropshot explanation, which tne makes it more "Oh..F__!" than "Oaf" (as in "idiot" which i agree he is not).
