Bruckup and Kackeye are names in Ja too.
My nephew who was born in Yankeetown and a bit on the chubby side, spent a summer home in his late pre-teens; picked up the nickname "Bigger". Yardies no easy.

In fact, in Ja, "Biggie", "Bigger" or "Big Yute" would be a natural for him. LOL.
Walk hip-shodded and you'll be called Bruckup. On second thought now, we wouldn't name someone "Kackeye" but we'd describe him/her as such. Another description would be "cross yeye" (proper spelling). A little man in the village where I grew up was called "Manto", meaning "man too". HeHeHe!

Like this girl who was so big even in grade school and grew up bigger but was called ' Little'.
And a grade school mate of mine whose father , a gambler was called 'big deuce'. So he became Deuce Card because he always had a pack of
cards.
Saw him in a recent article in Jamaica paper,about his Horse racing..real name Hylton Dallas which I had forgotten,almost.
Some other nicknames in my boy days.., Jubba,Walk ya,Tumble Tud, Tutto Dick(a Distrtict Constable),Mocho Ben, Lizard,Chick Man Chick and many more I cannot recall now.
Some of these, wwhen you utter teh name, you had to far or faster than Bolt

Bruckup and Kackeye are names in Ja too.
I know a few Bruk Up.
Either they are in perpetual hangover or dem too lazy saying dem too bruk up to do any wuk.
Some walk like dem body/chassis bruk up for true.
2020-01-25 23:17:06
In reply to hubert
The name Hylton Dallas rang a bell so I searched it. Yup, prolly from my Caymanas Park days doing outside broadcast at JBC. Yes, man, dem names could be funny ...and brutal too. A one-eyed man or a one-foot man would easily become "Wonnie". Our DC was called "6-and-9". And true, there were always the names not appreciated, an' den yuh betta took off like lightning.
In reply to goofie
Like I said, any hip-shodded walk* will fetch you "Brukup" for a name.
*[hip-shodded (Ja) = hip-and-drop (Guy), I think.]
--Æ.
2020-01-25 23:18:41
Onie for one limb or one eye, Longers for a tall guy, now Shorty could be very tall or short.

When we play dominoes we call ace-blank STIFFY. Simple from our days a one eyed man when he won a game would say 'this is Stiffy'.
Hence the name for ace blank. Of course we called double blank, Ray after Charles.
How about real name, Juice Newton. She could sing too.

Chipside
That's what we called this guy I grew up with (I won't say why).
Whenever he was called that, look-out for the ensuing "riot".
Saw him about 25 years or so ago operating a (mini) concrete block factory back in our neck of the woods.
He boasted (I'll paraphrase):
Do you remember when you guys called me "Chipside" how I would run for my (cut)lass? These days the children walk up to me and say, "Good Morning Mass Chipside".
