AKA. We all know that means-- Also Know As. A couple of great ones. The Mole. Nicky the Torch. The Chin. All kind of gangsterish. It's the "the" that makes them so. Then there's the odd ones like "Baby". Not "The Baby", although "Nick the Baby" would work, it wouldn't help your tough guy cred much.
I've known guys with real weak nicknames. The weakest being Steve, when the guy's real name was Al. He was a drummer.
We like rhymers like Jeff The Chef, and Pete The Meat. Again with the "the". Red Dog is good. I knew a guy named Rabbi. He wasn't Jewish. No "the".
I do love "The Pharoah". I knew a lady named Beatrice, AKA "Killer Bee", she was a barmaid in a roadhouse up north.. Excellent.
A long one, "Maynard Boogas La'Dairnt". You know who you are.
Ooo... "Excellency" would be a good one. And of course, Smoothstar. It beats my former nickname.
"That F#&*ing Walsh."
Also for your consideration...Knuckles, Badger, Fat Tony, Oakshank, The Mandible, and Granny Panzer
