We do have nicknames for neighbours, more to help know who we are talking about than to be disrespectful. We have an abundance of Daves so one became 'the godbod' as he always pops a religious newspaper through our letterbox. Another, the neighbourhood watch Dave. I bet my husband is electrical Dave.
New neighbours have become the Wonderful Family as I heard that said so many times before I met them. They are indeed a lovely family!
As child I remember my dad calling neighbours The Tinks as they were always fiddling with their car.
Just wondered if we are alone in our nicknaming of neighbours?

Bad Fat Pat.
She was always miserable and had a face like bad fat according to my MIL.

Many years ago we lived a few doors down from a single man who every morning and evening walked his dog to the end of our road and back. He never stopped to talk but acknowledged everyone with a solemn nod of the head. We called him "Man With Dog". Fast forward a year when we'd made friends with the couple who lived at the end of the road. Their name for the same chap was "Plop Dog Man". I guess we were the lucky ones, then!

One neighbour bent over noisily but didn't notice my husband walking past. Their house is called fartyman house.
