Old white Italian dude. He had to have some type of condition or a bag in his crotch. Dude literally had big nuts so we called him Big Nuts. Not sure if he understood us cause he was old country.

or is this big nuts in the figurative sense?

i have no fucking idea why except for maybe the fact that he drove a black on black on black bronco


there was also

Baby
Boo


Batman fucked Baby who was Boo's moms. She was the resident crackhead

"I'm twenty-two, catch

"She was on that tip about stoppin' the violence
About my people she was teachin' me..."

DeDe (pronounced "day day") is a thug
LeLe is quite promiscuous
Same with KeKe
TeeTee be lying
etc.

No one called him Dan. From elementary and probably still, my man's name was Meatball.

Legs-My dad got his ankle crushed at the steel mill so of course they called him legs
Shake- my uncle... cause he likes to smoke the shake from the weed bag
Skate- not sure why. My boys father and my uncles best friend
Batman-Black as shit?
Champ-not sure, he never won shit
Ski-not sure, nigga never skied in his life
Big Nut-he literally had big Nuts. Like..uncomfortably big
Zero-wasn’t about shit. His name was zero yo...
Guppy-not sure why... she was fine. Still call her that too


My dads generation tho... they all had nick names. Fly shit too.

that's some funny shit

I know/knew about 8 niggas named "Black"

We share a birthday, minus 15 years.
He's from the hood, and was that dude.
Changed his life before getting too caught up, now he's doing his thing.
His 5 sons (the ones he claims) are named after him, similar to George Foreman.
Three of them have variation nicknames...Tuffy, Tuffer & Tuffest.

Man
Man-Man
lil-Man

Did not know why

which i thought was a pretty cool throwback nickname, but he killed himself when his own gun accidentally went off

another dude named Fu-Man. a Japanese dude from a mexican gang.

another super short dude they called Pulga which means flea. He got killed too.

There are a bunch more. I'm blanking tho

Puppet/Lil Puppet, Flaco/Flaca, La Shygirl, Casper, etc.

Listening to Art Laboe dedications were basically a role call of 100 people at a time. Shit was confusing.

Oh Flaca told ShyGirl don't let no one get her down?

Well goddamn it how are we supposed to know who is who? And didn't Flaca JUST tell ShyGirl last week to smile now, cry later?

Which Flaca? Which Shygirl? And why is no one recommending counseling? ShyGirl seems like she's really going through it.

There's like 10 of each in every town in So Cal.

"Sleepy, the girls miss you. we'll see you soon"

he's still on sunday nights on KDAY. "This is for Payaso in Downey"

this hilarious...

it took me a minute to catch on...certain songs are just KNOWN cholo cuts (see also: The Vanguards) then I was like 'wtf?! these is lockup dedications!!!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

pretty damn tuff too

Bob (though his name was Dwayne), Chuck (govt. not charles or chuck), let me think of some more.

Lil' Man (Not little in any way, except for being skinny. Definitely was 10 years older than all of us, and constantly fist-fighting someone way fuckin younger than him. I saw him beat the shit out of a kid that had beef with my cousin, then fight my cousin immediately after that.)

Reminds me of a friend named Christian. Dude was always fighting or instigating.

although, I always thought it would be spelled out as Toughy. He had a twin sister (she was FINE). First boy and girl twins I'd ever met. They were 4 grades above me...in the same grade as my big sisters, who are identical twins. Their real names were like Marlon and Marla, but people only called them Tuffy and Pinky (they were light-skinned). It was cool that they were tight with my sisters, because Tuffy was damn tough. Seen him dust many kids. That was a nice connect to have.

'Church Boy" - was a nigga that just moved to the neighborhood and came to the basketball court with some dress socks on with his kicks and hooping gear. We were picking teams and I was like 'gimme church boy'. He went from Church boy to just 'Church' lol.

'Turbo" - was a boney ass nigga with them circle bifocal glasses. Him and his brothers moved from Flint Michigan to Bmore. I thought he looked like a robot, like the robot from Short Circuit. His name was Termaine, but I called him Turbo. Sad shit though, they moved back to MI and his twin was involved in some gang shit. Niggas shot the house up looking for the brother, ended up killing Turbo.

"Frankie Beverly" - nigga named Frankie. He ended up shortening the shit and had niggas calling him "Bevs"

I had a boy that everyone called "Friends" bc he went to Friends School in Baltimore and had all the Friends gear on everytime he came to the court. From the headband to the socks.

that one stuck so hard, nobody called him anything besides Slim.

Oh, just Friends.

Duh nigga, I'm asking *which* friend.

he was like "man I saw 'Friends' the other day and I felt bad that I didn't know his real name"

a LOT of niggas never knew his name was Allen, they only knew him as Friends

back in the 70's.

Said he was like a stereotypical bully, Deebo type. 6'4, 320 solid. Always on some kinda drug.

One day, he was high on PCP, and he was telling folks how strong he was. Someone said "I bet you can't lift that Pinto!" and he swore he could. He went up to the Pinto.......and lifted the entire front end of it up, and held it for five seconds before slamming it back down. Everyone was completely amazed.

Ten seconds later, he died from a heart attack. R.I.P. Mr. Monster.

>Ten seconds later, he died from a heart attack. R.I.P. Mr.
>Monster.

Hawk, Night Owl (cause he was dark), Deuceball, Jay Capone (he raps, you can Google him), Big Ship, Boobie, Lil Nutty, etc etc etc etc etc etc

My hood (Southside Chicago) nicknames were hilarious.


Bobo - Live next door. Wild athletic cat
Nado (pronounced Nah-doe) - older kid on the block that was always into something. Got involved in the game and got sent to prison
Slack - resident bully. I hated this dude
Honeyman - He had some developmental issues, but was strong as an Ox.

Big Buck & Lil Buck - Lived a block over, but were legendary break dancers. I sat in awe watching them perform windmills.

Cheeks - she was a fighter

Buster - he was a little special. I was shocked to see him driving a car.

Mush - white kid who was a deceptive 3 point shooter. He had a big ass head tho. Shaped like a mushroom.

not sure how he spelled Chilli, but I always assumed with i and not y.

Can Goods was the unofficial nickname for a dude that tried to trade can goods for crack.

Moonpie was cool tho.

So was Polo.

Nickname for the HS athlete who still holding on at the YMCA.

He “was nice” is HS...

also grew up with a dude named Gator I guess because he had a slight disfigurement to his jaw but he was my talked more shit than anybody I knew

That being said he's big reason why I grew out of gang culture at like 15/16, and did better shit with my life. Good dude.

...the most infamous was 'Man'. I sometimes see him and to this day I have NO CLUE what his real name is.

worked in the same place i did in college

i thought they were playing (like they were trying to gaslight me or somesuch to see if i'd fall for it), and told him straight up:

ain't no way in hell i'm calling you that, unless you tell me your real name i'll just call you "bruh"
