No wittier than Duck or Potato but thanks anyway...

Why RonE calls Rafa "Piggy"

Rafa has a couple of cool other nicknames, though.
El Niño :baby:
The Prodigy
The Spanish Bull
El Conquistador
...and some more

sort of a wild boar...but also vvery endearing, as in the talking "pig" movies. It works for me

Try calling Piggy to Federer and you´ll get a bunch of nails scratching your face :lol:

Well he already has been called everything from Rabbit to Ostrich to Squashed Melon Nose :shrug:

 

[alfonsojose]

Pocahontas, Lilo :shrug:

 

[mickymouse]

This nickname is way too cute for someone like him

 

[star]

Does Mirkaland know about this? :lol: :lol: :lol:

 

[1sun]

because he looks like a pig

 

[ae wowww]

Pocahontas, Lilo :shrug:

:lol: Yes... Mowgli

 

[World Beater]

mowgli is a good one. How about "sitting bull". He does sorta have the apache indian look!

 

[Experimentee]

Mowgli is a better nickname for him than Piggy. At least with Mowgli you can immediately see why hes called that, but I'm still struggling to see how his grunt or movement resembles a pig :scratch:

 

[alfonsojose]

:lol: Yes... Mowgli

good nickname :yeah:

 

[The Pro]

Yeah Mowgli gets my vote, in fact I'm tempted to put up a pointless poll...

 

[Nimomunz]

Does Mirkaland know about this? :lol: :lol: :lol:

:lol: mirkaland is one of the biggest Federer apologists but at least she's not rude like some others!!

No offense, but if you read the original Duck thread you would appreciate that it was FAR wittier

Potato alone might not seem witty, but it was derived from something Kafelnikov once said, which automatically makes it funny

 

[Chloe le Bopper]

because he looks like a pig

Don't you mean "WOT"?

:lol: mirkaland is one of the biggest Federer apologists but at least she's not rude like some others!!

That's debatable
