Nicknames

[GREENMACHINE23]

Have any of you been bestowed with a nickname by your non bodybuilding peers? It does not matter if you like it or not.
"Muscles in a Bottle" is one of mine.

[Gaoshang Xiongshou]

About ten years ago, some friends would call me Arnold Schwarzzenegro.

I kid you not.

[Jer]

I've got a ton of knicknames.

One that most of my softball team calls me is, Juice.

Arnold Schwarzzenegro.

Name change! I'm sending this to the name change thread. The guy who takes care of that thread will take care of it.

No, I have never had a nickname.

I hope you don't take offense, but that is fucking funny.

I think that's a big complement.

[Womanthrower]

Some broad calls me Jesus on Juice.

[Gaoshang Xiongshou]

I think that's a big complement.

I thought it was pretty good myself

Not anything muscle related, but all my hockey teammates call me deaner. If anyone has seen youngblood it has to do with that, also last name being dean and we all like putting er or a Y on the end of peoples name lol

It worked for me However, I know longer associate with those individuals, as they did not care for my choice of spouse, and stopped talking to me. No one calls me that anymore.

I seem to recall someone saying that Schwarzenegger meant black (Schwarz) plow man, however a quick Google offers this:

The origin of the surname SCHWARZENEGGER is from a place or topographic
name Schwarzenegg. Egg means "mountain ridge," schwarz means "black, dark."

Place-name surnames are very common. Think of all the -INGER names from
place-names ending in -ingen, the -BERGER names from place-names ending in -berg, the -BURGER names from place-names ending in -burg, and so on.

This would be analogous to several other names in Austria, Switzerland,
and Alpine areas of Bavaria, such as EMMENEGGER, HONEGGER, HABEGGER, and some of the just plain EGGERs.

To respond to the unasked question, no, it does not mean "Black Negro"
although Neger is the German word for "Negro." Nor does it mean "black
rake", although Egge is a kind of forked tool (not sure if rake is the
correct translation). That is folk etymology, not the real origin of the name
that has been localized in a mountainous area probably near a place called
Schwarzenegg for centuries.

So from the bold, it looks like "black plow (or rake) man is incorrect.

I think the Arnold nicknames must be fairly common. A friend and I used to greet each other in the gym as Arnold and Lou.

Me: "What's up, Bik Looouie?!"
Him: "Ah-nuld!"

This went on in the sixties, too.

I was Jamesy in elementary school. lol

There was an Enky, too. I forget my other one-syllable classmates.
