13 nicknames for the neighbors

Now that I am not working anymore I have time enough to listen to gossips and here are 13 names given by children or others to neighbors which I repeat with my venomous tongue !

1. Children call one neighbor "the old asshole" because he always shouts at them and chases them away

2. There is one who is called the "Elephant" because when he sneezes the whole neigborhood is jumping into the air

3. One is called "the draft" because she always is in a hurry

4. One is called "the tattletale" because he is aware of everything and everybody and if you meet him you have at least for half an hour to listen to his news.

5. There also is a man called "The Newspaper" because he informs you of everything going on in the neighborhood.

6. Children call a woman "The boat" because when she walks she swings from one side to the other and is quite fat.

7. They also call another one "The wine bottle" because every morning she goes out for buying cigarettes and comes back with a bottle of wine

8. There is also one they call "The high fart" because she is very snobbish and doesn't look at anybody

9. We also have a "mother hen" because she is always busy to look after her children and of course bothers the others

10. "The beauty" is a man who takes himself for a superstar and makes everybody laugh

11. "The busy bee" is a woman who is cleaning all the time, especially her garden so that everybody can see her

12. "The accountant" is a man who always wears a suit even when he mows his lawn

13. Children also baptisized a man "the ape" because he is quite hairy

Unfortunately I don't know how they call me !!!
