It makes no sense.
Indeed.
Here we often say' Jimbo', or 'Davo" for David or perhaps 'Pauly', long before mafia flicks.
I had a terrific nick name which I had from grade seven until I left school. I was called "Deadly" or 'Dead' for short by my intimate friends. It was Mr deadly by the school principal who thought he was funny. He was uniquely of that opinion.. School boys have merciless wits, with a good sense of irony. All I'm saying is that my nick name was the result of an incident at cricket. Nobody was killed or even injured, except from laughing.
How can you play cricket and not kill someone?
That's like playing footy without a sacrifice first!
Playing Cluedo with my mum while I was at Uni:
"You did WHAT? With WHO? WHERE???"
