I once heard of a gang member called “Macaroni”. I think I laughed for days.

Does anyone actually recall the names they gave the smurfs? I watched an episode on cartoon network as an adult once…Handy? Really?

For a little more Snow White Disney trivia…watch the scene where Snow White dances with the dwarves in the cottage. Then watch the scene in Disney’s Robin Hood where Maid Marion is dancing to “Prince John the Phony King of England.” The choreography is the same. The animators just traced over the steps and replaced the characters.

Having done youth work with at-risk populations for over a decade, I hate to admit that I’ve heard at least half of these names as “street” names. Who can take a young gangster named Cheese and Pee Wee seriously?

When I was child, my father gave me a troll doll with a nameplate that read something like, ‘Sleazy, the 8th dwarf.’ I had no idea that he could have been so right!!

Sneezy – Aidsy
Happy – Valiumy
Grumpy – Personality Disordery
Doc – Rapey
Dopey – Retardey
Sleepy – Stonedy
Bashful – Domestic Abusey

Reminds me of an old computer system that I used to work with that we had nicknames for several of the components. I remember Soaky, Flaky, and Blinky.
