Look, everybody does it! :whistle:

When your dancing and the musics loud you just cant hear/remember their name you have to invent a better one for the after dance discussion/post mortem.

There are so many I cant remember all of them and some of them aint exactly PC but theyre meant effectionately eg:

Fred Estair
The Jockey
The Devil
The Hairy Monkey
PyschoPerve
Jack the Hat Mc Vittie
The Man Who Wont Dance With Me

can I risk saying the dodgier ones or will I get killed?

Anyone else got some gooduns?

and
All teeth (Who's grin takes up their entire face)

Back when I started, my nickname was, I'm reliably informed, 'Shoulders'. No idea whether I have one now.

Oh - and a while back, I Used to Know A Girl(TM) who really didn't want her bf to find out her original nickname for him - which was 'Toffee Bum' (blame it on the wiggle) :D

Oh boy - my friend whom I go with have lots of these, had to as we couldn't hear/remember anyone's names when we first started (some we now know their names, but somehow the nicknames are more evocative so they get used in conjunction). :rofl:

Afraid that some of them aren't that nice! (I'm not a bitch I promise) :devil:

Braces
Mr Misery (who is actually more cheerful than his facial expression gives away and is quite charming)
The Cuddly Goth
Kaftan Man
The Demented Dwarf
The Coercer (doesn't lead, coerces you into a move)
Cute Teddy-Bear Guy

Neanderthal Man, Desperate Dan or Ug - all used for the same person.
The General (marches you round the floor)
Superman (purely down to his t-shirt)
Twiggy Starry Skirt
Bob (OK, so its actually his real name, but it suits his personality so well that it works as a nickname too! I don't mean that in a derogatory way, my Dad's called Bob)
The scary woman
John Travolta/Patrick Swayze


I know there's loads of others, but can't remember them right now!

Trying to think what I could have been called over the years

Starting - Mr Apologetic - was forever saying sorry

In between Skippy - was never on the beat, kept getting it all over the place

Now probably Spin Boy - have started doing spins at the same time as my partner, but not all the time:wink:

or maybe Lady Boy as I have started to try and learn to follow:rolleyes:

I'm pretty sure I know who Tic Tac man is, and possibly the person mentioned further up the list who always dances in shorts.

When I originally went dancing I went alone, so rarely had to use nicknames. This time around my friend and I are making a real effort to learn names (if in doubt, use Dave - there are at least 4 who dance regularly at Leicester). The only nickname I can recall my friends using is 'Trousers'. :innocent:

Ahhh...this bought back many happy memories of when I first started with my friend...

Raoul - He was always lurking round looking quite suave and when he danced he was always doing these complex moves. Raoul sounded suitably European and suave...so that's what he became. Later I found out he had a more average name like Bob or Fred...but I forget because I still insist his name is Raoul :D

The Bendy Man - nuff said really

I've had the unfortunate experience of dancing with 'the corpse' (or the living dead, as he's also called).... Shudder..... Tried to run away, and turned him down five times, but he still persisted, and in the end just grabbed my arm and dragged me onto the floor..... Next time I will just say NO THANK YOU, and walk the other way.!

Think I danced with the bigheaded man at Southport. Or his twin. I personally named him Frankenstein. Not nice, I know... :blush:

Some of our locals are:

Biceps
Baggy Trousers / Steve with the Trousers,
Bouncy Steve
Snakehips (you know I'm just jealous, darling!:D )
Smiler (never asks for a dance, just grins in a disturbing way and extends hand)

There's lots more, but I'm going senile...

And I dread to think what people call me, apart from Little Monkey, Cheeky Monkey, Naughty Little Monkey, and That Crazy Norwegian Girl! :what:

Also me and a pal used to laugh about The Honey Monster, but I'd have to die before I told you who that was.

Also "Such and such with the death grip" (such and such being substituted for the guy's name)

Imagine my disapointment when "Manuel" turned out to be Roger.

The Corpse seems to be cropping up all over the country, we have our own Corpse in London, also known as "Dead Man Walking" and "The guy whos about to drop off the perch", he's actually not a bad dancer. Is this a coincidence, or are dancers rising from the grave all over the country, like Micheal Jacksons Thriller video?

No, i think it's the same guy, he's just very well known. You can feel his ribs protruding through his shirt, about 104 years old, dyed red blonde hair. Usually wears a patterned blue shirt.

I got nabbed for half a dance at Chiswick. In the space of that half dance he managed to crash me 3 times before I gave up counting :mad: - he leads OK, but his floorcraft is non-existent. Howard rescued me :drool: - how lucky am I :D

Years ago when I first started dancing (not in Glasgow, I hasten to add) I encountered a dancer who fits this description perfectly. After being taken aside for a private demonstration of a UCP move (which was far too advanced for my absolute novice status and quite frankly just an excuse to letch) I actually took to hiding behind my then boyfriend every time he approached me for a dance :( I can't help but wonder if it's the same person!

I am trying not to think what my nickname would be! Was surprised to learn at the weekend that at least one person had the first impression I was cold and aloof :confused: :tears: Hopefully I've dispelled that one!

there were loads of good ones when I started but I can't remember them now

I have since found out that I was once known as "the husband" and , guess what, Sue was known as................

"the wife"

I was relieved to discover they were such innocuous names

Probably not, theres quite a few of those. One of "ours" in Edinburgh was famous for dancing with the newcomers, obviously because he got knocked back by many who knew him, you were especially likely to be asked if you were pretty and/or had a cleavage on display - slow combs meant he could gaze into it longer. His signature move was a slow return as he changed places whilst breathing whisky breath at you with some complimentary words like 'lovely top you have mmmm'. I never saw HIM being asked for a dance :)

Cant remember his nickname though, none of the repeatable ones anyway :)

A couple of years ago on a Ceroc holiday in Las Palmas, when it was really difficult to remember so many people's names anyway, I can remember the names we attached to 2 gentlemen:
Funny hand man (he did this strange thing with his right hand and you never knew if he was signalling something or not!) - and Medallion man - ageing surfer dude who wore 2 or 3 gold chains with things on them.

There's also a guy who I had mentally christened "Jesus" and have since discovered that other people had spotted the resemblance as well. I think he might even wear sandals. Or am I imagining that?

Neanderthal man. Think I might have had an encounter with him a while back. Extremely big and strong, dance style resembling a hallucinogenic fairground ride, t-shirts, pongs a bit?

Yes unfortunately there are.....some of my workmates came dancing with me when I first started but then gave up and said there were too many weirdos! This is a shame - I have met some lovely people but I do think because of the nature of ceroc it does attract people who only go for contact with members of the opposite sex! We do allow people to hold us and our attention for a while when perhaps in 'real life' we wouldn't choose to socialise with them at all.

Extremely big and strong, dance style resembling a hallucinogenic fairground ride, t-shirts, pongs a bit?I think that's the one. I had an extremely painful 7 minutes of rock and roll MJ (he wouldn't physically let go of me at the end of the first track) with him at an event about 9 months ago, after which someone I vaguely knew said to me "Of course your shoulder hurts, you just danced with Big and Bouncy!" It continued to hurt for days.

Last time he asked me to dance was at Hammersmith (I've not seen him there before or since) with the enticing phrase of "I learnt a few more jumps last week, want me to show you?" There aren't many people I will just say a flat no to, but he's definitely one of them. As is The Corpse, or Nearly-Dead-Man as I always used to call him. Shame, but you can't like everyone.

On a nicer note, the BandanaMen, at least in London, where there are two, are absolutely delightful to dance with.

Whitetiger :)

Yes, avoid a) wearing, b) looking or c) doing any of the following:

a) hats, bandanas, braces, black and white shoes, leapord print
b) miserable, like a serial killer, like your about to die, like your about to kill somebody and then die
c) not talking, talking too much, dancing oddly, sweating, smelling or farting

Finally before you leave home have a good look in the mirror and ask yourself "do I resemble anyone famous/a facist dictator?" If the answer is no your safe for the night.:wink:

whitetiger1518
14th-July-2006, 01:52 PM

Well I try to bring a change of clothes, a hand towel, deod to all my classes, but not any of the hats, bandanas, braces, black and white shoes, leapord prints, so I hope I will be OK on part A and some of C (can't guarantee I talk enough / or not too much yet i'm mostly concentrating on the moves and trying not to maim my partners. )

- As for B - I will in the end probably be labelled "Nutter" for the massive and daft smile that is always plastered across my face eg :D - though without the tinge of green ;)

For the way they dance
Alice in Wonderland
The Ballet Dancer
Autumn leaves dancing in the breeze (it's shorter in Japanese) - playfully follows anything, but only above a certain speed
Kitten pawprints in fresh snow - incredibly delicate technique
Rose in the thunderstorm - like dancing in the eye of a storm
Princess - dances like a fairytale
Masamune - finest blades ever forged
