Do you know why people have "knick names"? It's the reason I refrain from using them.
Hint: the answer lies in the word "knick", not the Americanised version "nick".

Leigh Fisher was at the club first- had been there a year or so before Sam arrived and was already Fishiceman wrote:Why is Fisher, Chips? have been wondering that for a while
so Sam got Chips to go with the Fish

2nd hint: No-one likes being called by their "knick-name". Example: are you more likely to respond to a call of "Johnny" than "big nose"? Knick names are almost always derogatory. People should be given the respect of being called by their preferred name, usually their first, unless they were named Gerald or Melva by vindictive parents.

and nah nicknames in footy terms i dont think are degrading i think they're good unless you're writing an article in the newspaper, then stick to the real names. otherwise call em by their nicknames unless its rat face or something![Wink :wink:](./images/smilies/icon_wink.gif)

Doesn't 'knickname' or 'nickname' originally come from 'eke' name - meaning "additional name,"
Nothing derogatory in that at all (some nicknames may be -most aren't) -and very australian - the aboriginal use skin names and nick names - allows many groups to talk about the deceased without using their given name.
'chips' is a great nickname given 'fish'! but where does 'banger' come from?

we call bj "go-go" here.
basically because of those first few years he played and everyone was raving about him being #1 pick up etc, and he didnt seem to really produce or seem to be worth it.......so we kinda named him go-go, sorta after inspector gadget, because u just wanted him to get the footy and run...ya know, kinda like hear him say to himself.. "go go gadget legs!" and he starts running and playing well....and then with his surname starting with 'go' it seemed to stick.

edit: of course he is completely a diff player now and is vital to us i think![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif)
