Have you noticed that nicknames belonging to sports personalities have all but vanished into obscurity in recent years? Just look back one or two decades to discover what comedic gems have graced the court or the field.

White Chocolate, Beast Mode, Megatron, The Big Ticket, and Black Mamba are just a few examples. Not only are nicknames disappearing from sports, but they are also slowly vanishing from our daily lives and our language, making us poorer.

The first name and last name are wonderful, of course, but there are a lot of conditional John Smiths in the world, so a nickname more accurately captures some of our special traits or something that has happened to us. In fact, a nickname can completely replace our name, or we can make every effort to get rid of it.

It can be outrageously funny, cynical, ridiculous, or cruel. In any case, whether it is light or dark, this is what represents our essence or some of its sides.

"What's the best nickname you've ever heard?" was the one question posed in a recent Twitter thread by user @NoContextBrits. The topic almost immediately became popular, garnering almost 1,500 replies and 13K likes in addition to a veritable gold mine of humor and cynicism from other users.

So grab your drinks, scroll down and get ready to have a good laugh!

When there were no last names in the past, people were initially given nicknames to emphasize a distinguishing quality. Due to the fact that there weren't many names available in ancient societies, people were given nicknames to help them stand out.

In addition, our last names evolved from our nicknames over time, so we still use them now.
