Twins Nick Names

Featured Replies

What are your favorite nick names for Twins players? I find myself making up and using terrible nick names I hear from friends all the time. Some of my favorites are below:

 

Plouffe = The French Pancake, Babe-Plouffe

Chris Parmalee = C-Parms or Parmesian Cheesey

Joe Mauer = Baby Jesus, Mr 2%

Kurt Suzuki = Kurt's Motorcycle Shop

Jason Kubel = Koooooooooooobs

Ricky Nolasco = Ricky Tikki Tembo-no Sa Rembo-Chari Bar Ruchi-pip Perp Pembo

Colabello = The Italian Hitman

Pinto = Beans

 

And so on. What are some of your favorites that you use with your friends or around the house?

Around the house:

Dozier = "the doooooj" (the j is pronounced like a "zh" sound)

Edited by amjgt
to add more "oooooo"s

I don't remember who came up with it, but we really need to make Caleb "Meat Raffle" Theilbar a thing.

Brian "the Bull" Dozier or just the Bulldozier

Chris Parmelee = Chicken Parms

Phil Hughes = Philthy Hughes

Brian "The Dunce" Duensing

Michael Tonkin trucks

Joe Mauer's always changes but it usually has something to do with bilateral leg weakness

Pedro Florimon and Mike Pelfrey = *the noise a remotes makes when changing the channel*

Winner!

I seem to go with a musical theme:

 

Honky Tonkin

No Limit Dozier

MC Hammer, Hammer Time, Please Hammer Don't Hurt 'Em

Chick Correa

Perkins - Pony Boy

Mauer - James Loney (ok, not strictly a musical theme)

"Sleepy" Dozier

"Poof" Plouffe

"Sticks" Hicks (We hope)

Arcia de Triumphe

I Like "Honky" Tonkin

"Black Magic" Santana

"Beast" of Burton

"Choosey" Hughsey

Please God. not No Last. Go

"Shoot" Gibson

"Dunes" Deduno or Gardy would call him "Dunsey"

All good names. Dunes. I like that. A lot.

One I was hearing by a certain nameless someone, referring to Plouffe's defense (mainly) last season: Ploofda
