What Eminently Mockable Names did your teachers have?

In My Humble Opinion

What eminently mockable names did your teachers have?

Not too many among teachers, besides a college professor: Richard Jean Richards - wife, Jeanne. Pretty monotonous I say.

But among people that I have worked with I have heard many, many funny names. So many that they start to form pairs.

Lipp, Cheek.
Belcher, Chew.
Pupo (poop-oh).
Welch.

Shields, Shears.
Van, Carr.
Malta, Moscow, and World.

Prince, King, and Sargent.
Polite, Lively, and Sincere.

Heckenlively.
Knickerbocker.
Caroballomaldonado.
Yi.
Gi.

Deerman, Bluebird, Cowmeadow, LefthandBull, Bearcomesout, Usesknife, Roatch, Locust, and Guppy.

Stage, Edge.
Blue. Void. (He was rather spacy.)

Hurt, Payne, and Comfort.

Those names could actually be used in a sentence. “All the WORLD’s a STAGE. Don’t step off the EDGE. Beyond it is a VOID. If you fall, you will be HURT, feel PAYNE, and get no COMFORT.”

And a special award for names which must be mispronounced more frequently than mine:
Pnacek and Ptacek.

4th grade-- Dick Faggnett (‘nett’ pronounced with a weak schwa, of course).
High school drama/ “special motivation” teacher-- Dick Cockroft (aka Dick Crotchrot). Poor martyrs.

143

Latin, 8th grade: Mrs. Suk. Properly pronounced like book, but pronounced by 14 year olds a bit differently.

144

we had a teacher who’s name was something horrible to spell like chemelieski (it was jewish AND russian…) no one knew how to pronounce it…

it was really said “mal-esk-ee” but someone said it was “molest-me” since no one knew what it really was… molest-me was strongly belived to be her name by about a third of the class… for the whole year

she was only an occasional teacher… but it was HILLARIOUS how many people seriously called her “ms molest me”

145

Mr Philips was commonly called Flip

My brother once had a teacher named Mr Hogg

I can’t think of any more at the moment…

146

None too spectacular, but…

There was an English teacher at my high school named Miss Gay. So unfortunate that she wasn’t married…

My English professor last year was Dr. Pigg. He kinda looked like one, too. And as a side note, he IS gay.

One of my band directors was Joe Farmer, which isn’t so bad by itself, but it was too easy to call him Farmer Joe. He sounded like one too.

A French professor here is named Crapo (pronounced CRAY-po), and his daughter and I attended school together. Junior high-schoolers are merciless. They were also merciless to my friend Jessamyn, whose last name was Annis. The secretary never could say her name right over the intercom.

And finally, there was a girl at my school named Anita Faber. No kidding. Poor thing.

147

Oh, and I thought of another. Not one that gets made fun of, but we have an economics professor named Dr. Cashdollar. hehehe!

148

Oh yeah, just remembered: My high school band director’s name was John Jerry Cheeseman. Poor guy was triple cursed, not only did he have that goofy name, but he was forty odd years old and still lived with his mother :eek:, and he looked like Barry Mannilow! :eek; :eek:

149

My friend had a nun named Sister Angela, they called her “The Tarantula.” He had another nun they called Dogface.

150

There was a nice, quiet, shy, smart, geeky kid in my junior high classes named Andrew Whitsitt. Well, one day during an assembly of several classes, our history teacher was calling the roll of everyone there, and loudly called out “Andrew Whitshit?” I don’t know who turned a brighter red, the teacher or poor Andy.

151

4th grade: Miss Boram. (how booring)
5th grade: Mrs. Weurdeman, whose name I have probably misspelled. (Mrs. Watermelon)

I actually liked both of these teachers, & Miss Boram was certainly not boring. She was kinda cool. But the exercise of turning names into other words was appealling on its own, & theirs were the easiest.

I will say that Mrs. Weurdeman was tall & somewhat roundish, & wore colorful clothes. “Watermelon” actually fit her. The only teacher I ever had whose name worked that well that way. Probably why I got interested in name-mangling in 5th grade.

152

I too had a French teacher in middle school that would do this. Except, mine was fairly good looking. . .

However, at this same middle school after I left and went on to 10th Grade, my principle retired and a new guy came in: Dr. Richard Weiner. And he looked every bit of it - 5’5", all of about 100lbs soaking wet. . . Needless to say, those roving packs of hormone-laden pre-teenagers didn’t take long to invent “Doctor Dick”. Kids can be so cruel . . .

However, he always introduced himself as “Richard”.

Tripler
Poor fellow.

Sixth Grade…
First, some background on the teacher - her breasts were huge. I’m talking so big that the only bras she could wear were the pointy-cupped granny bras, and she was fairly young. We all thought the school was insured in case one of her straps broke. You did well in her class for the simple fact that you did not want this woman to lean over and help you personally. Depending on which angle she came in from, you were dealing with either whiplash or impalement.
Did I mention they were huge? Like having smaller-breasts-orbiting-them huge? Nobody ever talked in class, or at least the sound waves never escaped their gravitational pull.
No one ever made fun of her to her face, thankfully.

The unfortunate teacher’s name?

Mrs. Kohn.

154

Mr. Gross - Too easy of a name to mock. Great guy. Plus he was the only male teacher at my elementary school, so he was a bit of an icon.
Ms. Jurca - She changed from her married name of Mrs. Barnett to Jurca. Not a good idea when you’re a junior high teacher.
Mr. Calderone - He got the nickname Chromedome with his male pattern baldness. He passed away while I was still in school, so the nickname disappeared (rather poor taste).
Mrs. Patton - She seemed very tyrannical, so we often called her General Patton.
Ms. Burger - Very well liked. But one kid called her “Ms. Booger” once, and we all gave him the evil eye.
Mr. Skaer - Pronounced like “scare”. He always called me “The Bod” ironically, since I was the skinniest kid in school.

155

Oh, and I almost forgot Mr. Born, aka Mr. Boring.

It sure fit! His idea of teaching Asian History was to transcribe his outlined notes on the blackboard and have us transcribe them into our notebooks.
