I was out for a walk earlier and I overheard these teenage girls calling me "the zombie-man." Anyone else been given a similar moniker?

in childhood, my charming older brothers called me "scab." if that is not bullying, i do not know what it.

in high school i didn't catch the names. but i did hear some of the utterances and phrases. i never understood them back then, when they were said. i would go home and finally work out that i had been treated appallingly.

Other than annoying, and similar, nothing special. Although recently I was called ski pass dude, simply because I was still wearing my ski membership from last year on my jacket.

The Year 7 kids call me "gorilla" cos I walk funny. Every time they see me they mime playing the drums (referring to the Cadbury's advert with the gorilla playing "In The Air Tonight" by Phil Collins on the drums). Hilarious, not.

Either I have not noticed any nicknames for me, or the kids I have known are not very creative. :wink:

maybe cause i was somewhat (ok quite) flexible growing up, i got called "de rubber twig". which i found hilarious.
also affectionately, a name based on my last name which i won't share here. it rhymed.

i was called a vampire once. or was it dracula... yes. they were teasing me. it was the only time i've ever had a comeback for anything. if anyone calls you dracula and it's in a bad way, just run at them with hands up and yell, 'i'm going to suck your blood!'
:|
well it works on 7 year olds anyway.

have been called many names,but never that one.
the funniest one was 'prostitute'.
was in longford park [near chorlton] as had ran away there to usual spot and was sat on the grass,speed rocking while head banging on the iron bars of the childrens playground.
one of the staff had caught up with am and was trying to restrain-he said later a group of teen girls had been watching it all when he had been there and said am was a 'prostitute' ? never knew where they got from.

I don't interact with people outside of my family very much, so I only get called nicknames by my family members.

My favorite nickname has to be "Asperella", which my mom gave to me, because she says I am like "the other Cinderella"; an autistic one.

Hmm...I've never heard any names (not surprising...I tend to ignore any comments) but people often mimick my movements and actions. Stiff walk, monotone voice, Aspie stare (you know what I mean). And I'm willing to bet that there have been many comments...just unheard by me. Oh well.

Boys call me a prostitute a lot, but apparently they say that to all the girls. When they say summat like, "How much?!" I say, "Damn sight more than you could afford, bruv."
