Michael Martin wrote: wifes WOG side :confused: What does WOG mean in this context. Then nearest I can come up with is as in "gollywog" and it isn't exactly polite.

On top of that many Australia comedians/actors have forged careers on the WOG wagon in the past 15-20 years or so. Maybe not acceptable language by world standards but OK in Aussie.

Okay, it is what I thought it meant. I'm also curious as to why you are thinking about your kids having nicknames? Anyway.... Jeremy --> Jerry, Jerr-o Bridget --> Bri (aye sounding - I have a feeling that there is a SA word meaning BBQ that sounds similar - although I may be mistaken) I've never been one to come up with nicknames.

O.K. so it's 23:25 and I've been imbibing Bundy Rum and VB since the beginning of the AFL Grand Final at 14:30 and continued through to the first qualifying final of the NRL (shit, both teams lost). But I've been thinking about nicknames for my kids (for years if the truth be known). In Australia the standard is to shorten it as much as possible, as opposed to my wifes WOG side which seems to extend it to 17 syllables or more. My son Jeremy seems obvious to me, Cognac, Think JeRemy Martin people. My daughter Bridget is a bit more of a problem though. Shortening gives bridge, but thats a bit shithuse, so I would go with the name of a famous or local bridge. Sydnay Harbour, Windsor or Tom Uglies (seriously a real bridge here in Sydney) seem crap. Golden Gate, San Francisco or any other American one that comes to mind is also crap. So the question is, what can you lot come up with?

A guy I worked with (in central Kentucky) always referred to his wife as "Dragon Lady", and his two boys as "Rocket Head", and "Bird Dog". Now, don't take from this any stereotypes about Kentuckians. He, as well as all those in the shop, is a very intelligent, educated man. So, at a company-sponsored banquet, several fellow team members, as they bumped into he and his lovely wife, would say, "So, this is the 'Dragon Lady'". She didn't know of the moniker. Afterwards she was referred to as "Sweet Petunia".

Duke Leto AtreidesIt's a wonder he actually lived to call her anything else. When my son was a baby/toddler I called him Boofhead, as he had what seemed to be an oversized head for his body. He has since grown into his head so the nickname doesn't suit any more. Michael Martin Australia "I controlled my laughter and simple said "No,I am very busy,so I can't write any code for you".

Don't know about Oz, but here "Dot" is short for Dorothy. And "Sot" is used in a childish contradictory statement in order that "not" and "sot" rhyme. e.g. Child 1: You broke my toy! Child 2: I did not! Child 1: You did sot! Child 2: Did not! Child 1: Did sot!

Well Sot would convey the alcohol connection to Remy Martin, and Dot is from Brigette (sp?) Bardot. Short, to the point, and they rhyme. "Benedict Arnold was a war hero too."

Have you tried translating "bridge" or "bridge it" to another language, or slang. I like Bree (as in Brianna). Also, what about her middle name? A cute behaviour, ie "Giggles". There is no doubt when the first automobile race occurred. It was when the second automobile was built. - Richard Petty
