Stick to movies and Miss St Billy. It's not Shark Mouth, it's The Great White Shark or Simply The Shark for Greg Norman. It comes from his white hair and being from Australia. No one knew who he was when he almost won the Masters in 1981 so they called him the Great White Shark. Also, I have never ever heard someone refer to Eldrick Tiger Woods as Eddie.

Thanks for your input. You got me on Norman but I'll have you know, for whatever reason, Tiger went by "Eddie" in rehab.

so you've proven to be nothing but a phony in everything else, yet I'm supposed to believe you in this. Hilarious. You really are the worst troll ever. Although, maybe that makes you the best troll ever.

The best nicknames are the ones that take the place of their real names, or become essential parts of their name.

Cadillac Williams
Magic Johnson
Tiny Archibald
Sir Charles Barkley
Mean Joe Greene
Pac-Man Jones
