Anyone got a nickname from mates/wife/partner etc and why are you called said name?

Mine's nothing special or exciting....I'm called 'Grandad' or 'Pops' by the lads (all a lot younger) at my local ABC. I'm 'only' 48 but old in comparison to the vast majority. The oldest one there actually

Hopefully there's a few more exciting ones in use.....?

A friend once merged my first and last name into a single word through talking too fast. The result was something similar to my username which is now just shortened to Jook. Its stuck for years and with a big mop of ginger hair it could have been a lot worse!!

Oh and what's an ABC? abbreviations that i can't figure out frustrate me...
