Che's Nicknames

[Hate Is Art]

Could someone help me with Ernesto's Nicknames, how he got them and a rough translation of them, (if they are in Spanish)

Nickname - Translation - How He Got It

Che - Hey You(?) - Upon joining the July 26 Movement he was coined it by the Cubans because of his constance use of the phrase when calling people.

Fuser - Furious - Because of his dedication and furiousness while playing rugby

Pelao - Baldy - unsure as how he got it

Tete or Tito - n/a - From Enesto, a childhood nickname.

[toastedmonkey]

Chancho - Pig/Filthy - Dressing scruffly not washing or changing colthes for months on end.

tatu: his name used in the kongo

[Hate Is Art]

does any one know how he got the name Pelao?

El Pelao - Baldy - he had an unfashionable "buzz-cut"

[toastedmonkey]

He was also know as 'El Loco' in his childhood.

El Loco - Crazy - His social attitude, dress sense etc.

He was also called "sniper" for a while. Well, that&#39;s the translation. When I get home, I&#39;ll find out how it&#39;s said in spanish (I marked the page on john lee anderson&#39;s biography where it said it...)
