You are indeed not alone. I do exactly the same with the other contractor who sits opposite me. We're on Mindalign IM. We codify names so if the channel gets monitored no-one knows who we are talking about.

We have amongst others:

Stan & Ollie
Chris Evans
Appletise
My best mate
Jack Palance
1-hung
Kyle Hawk
Miss Kitka
Moe (his office is called Moe's Tavern).
etc

Er, I was going to suggest it was because he is nuts.

I used to work with a guy who learned sign language. He explained how people were described by some physical characteristic. So we spent a pleasant afternoon or two coming up with signs for everyone. Some were easy - Slaphead, and the guy with the tombstone teeth. We also had the sniff your armpit man, and of course, tosser. Frowny, smiley, and raise your eyebrows in a surprised manner. Gesticulator, scratch your arse and pick-your-nose-and-eat-it...

We had a PM Mr. Teflon half way through the project he would assign any part of the project not going well to other people.

[Spoiler]

Some old fella was known as "The Prince of Darkness" (he was a letch).

Also worked with a 'Roland Browning' as well. When he got a bit sarcy, the shout of "I'm only trying to help you row-land" in a whiny voice would go around the office.

A few from over the years

Rotating Dave - every conversation contained a "So I turned round and said to..."
Growbag - he had personal hygiene issues and was called it to his face
Baggy Anne - let's just say she had 'been around'
Manwoman - was rather androgynous (sp? - couldn't be arsed to check)

We have a "stinky" in our office too. Everyone knows him as stinky and he does stink.

He's the IT boy.

We also have a paedo... he wears those really creepy glasses - you know, that go darker when the sunshines or it's bright but they aren't actually sunglasses <shudder>

LOL, I'm SO glad you said that, I've been saying for ages that anyone who wears reactolite glasses should be instantly on the sex offenders register

Having a gent that i didn't actually work with described as "you know the one, he looks like a kiddy fiddler", yep straight away knew the one.

Then I got to actually work with him and he is really sound!! Shame cos now its stuck in my head for all time.
