Sometimes Sayings.

We had a young lady Health Inspector. She found fault with everything.
I called her Fos = F.O.S. = Full of shit.

Pothole Allways in some ones road

Just remembered another apt nickname. I met him while contracting to Ashfield Council. They called him CANDLES because his nose was always dripping

Bollard. Wears hi viz and just stands there all day.

When I was in the RAAF, there was a senior officer who was over the moon because the troops had given him the nickname BHOC. No one told him that it meant "Baldy Headed Old C**T

You have reminded me of one of our respected company veterans (long since retired) - GOC. You can work that out.

Interesting alternative meanings there reminded me of a book written by Evan Green (from memory, but probably incorrect!?). It was liberally dotted with  asterisks and other marks to represent particular words, one of which used the * in place of the word bastard (similar to the letter C used in some of the last comments). 

Thus the book read that one person was a right *, another was a real *, and yet another was a thorough *. All of which might seem to indicate some nasty pieces of work, although it must be remembered that you can be a regular * and be a good bloke with absolutely no question about their birthright!?

Sounds confusing, but by the time I had read a few pages the rest of the book was easy to read and quite funny - with not one word that could have been pointed out as being inappropriate. Of course it would be a C of an idea if you *s can't see what I'm getting at. 

 

Many years ago, there was a TA were I was working
everyone called him "Doc" 
I assumed it was Doc from the "Back to the Future" movies that were popular 

Turns out it was for Deaf old C

Once I found this out I always called him Trev as he was a top bloke, not remotely a C

Other blokes thought I was a bit weird as Trev didn't care about been called Doc

Many years later, was on a job and this short bright haired bloke was there, couldn't tell you his real name 
everyone called him FLOT

Funny little orange thing

A hay contractor I know was listening to me go crook about something and the C word slipt out

And he buts in and says "you wanna know a real C is, Whitlam"

From then on Whitlam got a work out at times

A couple of bosses I had during life:
Plimsol, as in Plimsol mark on a ship to indicate water level when loaded;......"I'll take that on board" when a suggestion was made.

Another was called Mirrors... "I'll look into it".

As of today, I am eligible for the OBE, in my case that stands for Operational But Eccentric.

This week's saying:-
What other people think of me is none of my business.
I saw it in something written by Wayne Dyer but he might have pinched it from someone else.
