How about Tommy ten to two? When he sat on the beach, his feet flayed out -the opposite of pigeon toed - so that the left foot was pointing where 10 o’clock would be on a clock and his right foot would be pointing to where 2 o’clock would be on a clock so he was forever known as Tommy 10 to 2.

So true. My great Uncles name was Angelo but we all called him Uncle Curly because of the curl he had in his hair. I didn’t learn his actual name until I was a teenager.
