What are common and/or stereotypical jock and bully names?

Like I said, anyone can be a bully. One does not have to be a jock to be a bully.

When I think of a bully I think of a thug - someone who just picks on people who are different.

School bullies often fit under this image.

A stereotypical beach bully is the big hulking guy who comes along and kicks sand in a little guy's face.

Butch, Biff, Brett, Buster

Jock is a slang term for a Scotsman.

Standard comic names, Basher, Cruncher, Smasher.

Brutus

I think if has to start with the letter B

Peter Parker's bully's nickname is Flash. His real name is Eugene.

I am aware of that, and it's capitalized when referring to a Scotsman. There's a handful of other meanings for "jock":

I am using it here in American English to mean "athlete".

I have to remember there are a number of non-Americans who use this site. Jespah told me a non-American founded this site.

I should qualify the term "American" when I want Americans to respond to certain threads.

I apologize if my use of the terms "foreigner" or "foreigners" offended you.

Why do some Europeans use the terms "furreigner" or "furreigners" when referring to Americans?

"Brock" sounds like a bully's or a jock's name. So does "Spike" for some reason.

Biff Tannen was the name of the bully in the first two Back To The Future movies.

Brock Samson is the name of the bodyguard in The Venture Bros.

Give examples.

When a man wears a thong it is called a jock strap. It was first marketed by the Jockey Company about 1920 and has been a badge of office among high school athletes ever since. It is so common that all athletes are called jock strappers, or just jocks. The genuine Jockey article is made with a rubberized fabric that might chafe your leg. If that happens put corn starch on it.

As an old cross country runner I approve of this method.

I thought you were an old, cross, country singer.

"Biff" sounds like a stereotypical jock name. Is it? Is it a stereotypical White guy's name? When I think of "Biff" I think of one of those stereotypical White jocks you see in gyms.

I think of Death of a Salesman.

It’s the only place I’ve heard the name.

Biff from back to the future



"Biff Howard Tannen is a fictional character in the Back to the Future trilogy. Thomas F. Wilson plays Biff in all three films as well as the Universal Studios ride, and voiced the character in the animated series. Biff is the main antagonist of the first and second films. Biff's great-grandfather, Buford "Mad Dog" Tannen, fills a similar role in the third.

The character is portrayed as a tall, aggressive, dim-witted and misogynistic bully who obtains what he wants by intimidating others into doing his work for him, or by cheating. He and his family members are shown to misuse idioms in ways that make them appear stupid and pathetic despite their intention to insult or scare. His favorite insult is "butthead"."

Thank you. I was going to get to that.

Biff Brannon was a gentle hearted restaurant owner/manager in the book The Heart Is A Lonely Hunter by the late Carson McCullers.

Set in a Georgia milltown in the 1930s, a highly enjoyable reading experience, which can educate people about various aspects of bigotry.


Then there was good natured Biff Baker, portrayed by Alan Hale Jr. in the early 1950s television series Biff Baker, USA

I used the name Biff for one of my continuing characters in an ongoing series of police department mystery novels. A decent fellow, residing and working in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

Not a bully then.

I must admit I’d forgotten about Back to the Future, and that particular Biff fits the stereotype Mr Goldman was talking about, but he seems the only one.

It’s not a name you hear over here at all which is why I automatically went for Arthur Miller.

There was a comic strip character in the Beano called Biffo the Bear, but that’s as close as it gets.
