DJ names can have some alternate meanings, And rave ones are up there with the best. Whats the weirdest you know?

DJ Welly

DJs have chosen some strange names for themselves over the years and you have to wonder whether once they hit fame whether they really wished when main stream media came calling that they should have picked something different?  Perhaps that was the reason for their notoriety to begin with though, who will ever know.   What weird names and meaning can you think off?  Rave DJs certainly are at the forefront of non PC terms and just random ones.  They all have their own stories for why, but we can speculate whether they are real or the alternate reason.  Take for instance the following:

Mickey Finn - In slang a Mickey Finn is a drink laced with a drug given to someone without their knowledge in order to incapacitate them.
Ellis Dee - A clever play on spelling LSD the illegal class 1 hallucinogenic drug from the 60's
Tizer - The hardcore DJ from Northern Ireland named after a crap pop drink
Whizz - Slang for speed which was one of the main stays along with ecstasy of the rave scene
Ratty - Allegedly named due to his early big front teeth, but perhaps just a big fan of Wind in the Willows
Pig Bag - Err we are still not sure why either
Welly - Was it his fav foot wear, very wet when first gigging or a reference to giving it some?
Frankie Knuckles - Maybe big hands helped spin those tunes or to fend of angry party goers
Sticky - Lets not go there
Zammo - Obviously a big Grange Hill fan
Jon the Dentist - Its one way to get over a phobia I guess. Now open wider
Nipper - More of a pets name IMO but it worked for him and he certainly had some bite


No DJ's were hurt in the writing of this story (well we hope not, its just a bit of fun, we love you all)!
