Exum and Hood Nicknames

I like the Wonder from Down Under


wonder what matt harpring likes lol

Matt has kids so I expect to hear Captain Feathersword, Dante the Dinosaur, Hot Potato, or Fruit Salad reference.


Rodney Hood should only be allowed to play with JLIII and Enes. that way it can be Rodney Hood, Little John, and Friar Turk.
 
For that Australian feel and a name that matches his first step and speed being reminiscent of a Kangaroo. Dante "Skippy" Exum.

Or just call him Vegimite.
 
here goes...


DUX

1) it is an Austrailian idiom, which means "top of the class"

2) it sounds like Dante - and - Exum mixed together.

3) finally, it is short and easy to say (essential for nicknames --- hate most multi-word or long ones)
 
Exum

Executioner
X-pac
Dauntless
Australian Spider
Taipan (most venomous snake in the world - lives in australia)
The Peak
Volcano
Venom
Phenom
Australian Cyclone[/QUOTE]

Fixed but drop the "Australian"

Having read 95% of these suggested nicknames I want to know where the communal crack pipe ur all smoking is at?

I can't believe you don't like Captain Kangaroo...
 
There is a video going around of an interview with Hood about nicknames he has. He mentions "Roscoe" is what he is called when he really brings it. When his mean side comes out.

So:

Hood = Roscoe

You beat me to it! ha ha. I just saw the video on the Utah Jazz FB Page.
 
For Exum:
The Inferno
The Koala Kid
Captain Kangaroo
Professor X

And when he crosses fools over with his patented "quick as Kobe first step" Boler can pull out:

"OhH! Exum hits him with the Southern Cross!"

For Hood:
The Transfer.

Harp will reference that Hood is only the 3rd player to ever transfer to Duke every damn game.
 
Nicknames aren't an Aussie speciality apparently so it's up to us:

Blame greenhouse gases. Blame pay television. Blame Super League. Blame Ricky Nixon. Blame whoever you must for there is a silent, corrosive epidemic infiltrating Australian sport at its highest level.

No, I’m not talking about James Brayshaw.

I am of course lamenting the loss of great nicknames in Australian sport. Whilst the Aussie dollar has brushed aside competition like Tony Lockett at a Sizzler buffet, are we lagging where it really matters most?
