How Did You Get Your Nickname?

I have yet to be named. Looking forward to it though!

slozo My 12th grade ceramics gave me that, it stuck ever since. 7 years.

I've been called Floater. Floater happened when the guys found out about the hidden art of Mormon floating (stick it in and no thrusting). Luckily the main perpetrators calling me Floater have migrated elsewhere so it died

My long time training partner, one day said that I had a slight resemblance to Murphy from Robocop (The Original), so I became "Robo" Rick Dawson. Boom.

I was owned by TKD black belt turned Gracie guy in 1993 I believe. After being introduced to Gracie Jiu Jitsu in the Army I tried to find a school. I trained for over a year there absolutely wrecking purple belts. They used to say I had the goods. It turned out that it was completely illegitimate. The ranks were hand out by a guy with no training at all. So I drifted from place to place for the next 10 years never really getting any better better but still laughing at the goods. When other people found out it stuck. It always makes me laugh and keep perspective.

Ha! Didn't know the whole story. Pretty funny!

I am still un named as well.

I was young and needed the money :)

I used to live with my cousin and one time her husband's friend came to visit. He started calling me 'Nasty' Nate and it stuck. Many people have tried to arbitrarily assign reasons for it when I've done gross things but I really think he originally was just basing it off the character from Half Baked.

Another one is Natronovitch. A few people in class started calling me Natron and one time Tait just lengthened it to Natronovitch. He said I was a Russian transformer. (I'm not actually Russian or a transformer.)

Chewie (Chewbacca) was one of the names tossed about when they were trying to think of a nickname for me at my judo club which i said i thought was the best out of all of them, and then some of my other mates heard them calling me chewie and its stuck ever since
