 | View Full Version : newbie in the office zaax 03-16-2004, 04:53 PM We had a youngest (18) start this week I’m trying to think of a suitable nickname for him. His name is Eric Watson. Can't use Watty as that is already in use. I have thought of Flat Eric. Any more? Patrick 03-16-2004, 04:59 PM Why have a nickname at all? He might get offended. Amish_Geek 03-16-2004, 05:46 PM Is he big or skinny? Cartman could be a good nick... funnier if he is skinny :) xyzulu 03-16-2004, 05:54 PM Well what springs to my mind... is the Monty Python: Eric the aardvark goes quantity surveying.. story. :) zaax 03-16-2004, 06:01 PM Originally posted by badbaker.com Well what springs to my mind... is the Monty Python: Eric the aardvark goes quantity surveying.. story. :) It's Ethel the Aardvark goes Quantity Surveying xyzulu 03-16-2004, 06:03 PM ooo mmm well I have been wrong before.... oh well call him Ethel then...

For a Monty Python related name it'd either be Eric the Fish, or Eric the Half-a-Bee. LinuxAdmin 03-17-2004, 01:15 AM this has got to be one of the best threads on WHT. Making fun of newbies @ the office is always the best. ;) digitok 03-17-2004, 02:57 AM Call him by his real name and stop being lame. Come on. ToaD 03-17-2004, 04:17 AM Call him root.

Calling people by their first name when everyone else in the group has a nickname makes them feel left out or like an outsider. Amish_Geek 03-17-2004, 06:19 PM Whats his personailty like so far?
