At school I had the nickname Palang (eel) after I fell awkwardly on top of another player in rugby practice after I tackled him. Then some of the souties couldn't pronounce it and changed it to Piesank - some sort of mixture between palang/piesang/piesankie but it stuck and I'm proud of that nickname - although I rarely get called that since I moved away to study in Bloem and rarely see those school friends anymore :/
