Need help picking a nickname for back of a tour shirt?

Sign in to disble this ad
Hi,

In a week im going to Spain with my schools Jazz band, and we've been given the option to have personalised polo shirts made with a nickname of our choosing across the back.

Problem is, apparently having Bassbitch across the back might cause offence.

Other things i've thought of include Got bass?, or just Chazzle.

Does anyone else have any other ideas. Im kind of stuck.

Cheers

Perro en el Bajo ..."Dog on the bass", kind of like bassbitch, but in Spanish when you want to say somebody is smokin' on an instrument you say "el es un perro" with that instrument.

T-Bone (Seinfeld reference). I'm kidding. You can't give yourself a nickname, it's just not right.

Sincerely,
Badass

Brute Force, Big Jennifer Garner (straight out of Kickin' It Old School), Ice Box. If you're looking for something of the Spanish variety you could try El Barbie Jeep.

I think you get "Stink Eyed Pete" embroidered on the lapel and the Magna Carta, in its entirety, albeit with a harder to read font, straight down the back.

I don't care if you name is Pete because I think either of those would make a great conversation starter.

If you just gotta pick something... go with...

..."booger." I don't even know you but it just seems to fit!

All of my friends ended up with nicknames in college. Most were basic and/or obvious, but they all developed out of personality traits or outstanding circumstances. The one time a guy requested one he was politely told by everyone present that nicknames don't get "assigned". They just kinda happen. He whined some more (like a girl). So he got stuck with Lucy.

well not really a nickname I have those, just something funny to put on the shirt maybe. Bassbitch is just rude, chazzamatazza wont fit, chazzle fits but its nothing special. Charliemouse would fit I but only a select few people actually call me that.

Pretty much. My most common nickname is Scotchy, which is from my first day of classes. I used to drink a lot of scotch.

But hold on.... a polo shirt with writing on the back? That sounds weird.
