Botterill's Nickname

[woods-racer]

JBOT or J-BOT :thumbdown:

 

 

Botter or Botsie/Botsy :thumbsup:

[That Aud Smell]

Same. I was all aboard the J-Bot train, but Botsie/Botsy flows off the tongue well.

 

It does. I can see why it's been the nickname elsewhere. Probably from when he was playing hockey.

 

The -sie/-zee is my favourite type of hockey naming method. My all-time favourite example of that? Grant Fuhrzee.

Oof, if this an indication of the off season... its gonna be a long one...

[PromoTheRobot]

JBOT, I think, has already been decided upon.

I thought that's what we settled on too.

Yeah Botsie is too cutsie

[woods-racer]

It's not cutsie, it's pure 100% Canadian nicknaming at it's best.

[That Aud Smell]

Correct.

 

Do we need a refresher on hockey naming conventions?

 

You've generally got 2 choices -- the -zee/-see/-ee treatment, or the -er treatment.

 

Botterill wouldn't qualify for the -er treatment, since he's already got an -er in his name (even if the "e" isn't pronounced).

[bunomatic]

Lets hope its more along the lines of Ballsy Botterill. ZFG set the bar high as far as nicknames goes.

[DirtDart]

He will always be Botts to me.

[woods-racer]

He will always be Botts to me.

He is on WGR right now. All 3 hosts played with him, it's Botts to him and them.

[sabills]

Correct.

But does the GM nickname follow the same rules? I understand that's what other players might call him when he's on the ice, but he's a front office stiff now.

Hmm. Interesting. 

 

If his hockey name isn't Botsie, then I think I'm back to JBOT.

Good question. I think the answer is mostly "yes."

[shrader]

Back when he was playing here, all I could ever think when I saw his name was "butter roll".

Bertie Bott?

[dudacek]

The voice-to-text program on GR referred to him as Jason Box Troll.

My personal favourite so far.
