Nickname
A nickname is a substitute for the proper name of a familiar person, place or thing. Commonly used to express affection, a form of endearment, and sometimes amusement, it can also be used to express defamation of character. As a concept, it is distinct from both pseudonym and stage name, and also from a title (for example, City of Fountains), although there may be overlap in these concepts. Etymology The compound word ''ekename'', literally meaning "additional name", was attested as early as 1303. This word was derived from the Old English phrase ''eac'' "also", related to ''eacian'' "to increase". By the 15th century, the misdivision of the syllables of the phrase "an ekename" led to its rephrasing as "a nekename". Though the spelling has changed, the pronunciation and meaning of the word have remained relatively stable ever since. Conventions in various languages English nicknames are generally represented in quotes between the bearer's first and last names (e.g., '' ...

Jack "Basher" Williams
Jack E. "Basher" Williams (17 June 1917 – 16 May 2000) was an Australian rules footballer who played with South Melbourne in the Victorian Football League (VFL). When Williams arrived in Melbourne from Maryborough, he had intended to join Footscray, but had to sign with South Melbourne due to residential boundaries. During his early years at South Melbourne he was rarely available for selection, as he favoured playing with South Districts, who could offer him better money. As a result, he played just two VFL games in 1940, one in 1941 and didn't feature at all in the 1941 VFL season. By 1944 he was a regular fixture in the South Melbourne team, appearing in 15 rounds that year. The previous season he had to sit out eight games through suspension. Williams then played 21 games in 1945, most notably the "Bloodbath" Grand Final, where the centre half-back was reported three times. He was cited for "adopting a fighting attitude" and on two charges of using obscene languag ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
