A colleague of mine has been known as “wump” for years. I didn’t think anything of it until someone asked why that was his nickname, and one of the old boys said:

“that was the sound he made when he got run over about twenty years ago”

nice

Similar story, I had a coworker who went by Skippy and it turns out people call him that because he still walks with a limp from a car crash that killed his brother.

I started calling him Shaun

Is Shawn his name or the noise he made in the car crash?

I got the nickname “Ralph” because I was wicked hungover at work during covid shutdown and threw up.

I was run over 45 years agoo. No fun name but we do get to tease the driver at gatherings to this day.
