That Aud Smell Posted May 19, 2017 Report Share Posted May 19, 2017 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PromoTheRobot Posted May 19, 2017 Report Share Posted May 19, 2017 JBOT, I think, has already been decided upon. I thought that's what we settled on too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woods-racer Posted May 20, 2017 Report Share Posted May 20, 2017 Yeah Botsie is too cutsie It's not cutsie, it's pure 100% Canadian nicknaming at it's best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
That Aud Smell Posted May 20, 2017 Report Share Posted May 20, 2017 It's not cutsie, it's pure 100% Canadian nicknaming at it's best. 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). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bunomatic Posted May 20, 2017 Report Share Posted May 20, 2017 Lets hope its more along the lines of Ballsy Botterill. ZFG set the bar high as far as nicknames goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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). 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Aud Smell Posted May 23, 2017 Report Share Posted May 23, 2017 He is on WGR right now. All 3 hosts played with him, it's Botts to him and them. Hmm. Interesting. If his hockey name isn't Botsie, then I think I'm back to JBOT. 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. Good question. I think the answer is mostly "yes."
