That's because when they grow up it is no longer acceptable to use that nickname and they go by Codward instead.

[–] FooBarrington@lemmy.world 9 points 6 days ago (1 children)

That's an Irish name and it's pronounced "Doug".

[–] fibojoly@sh.itjust.works 3 points 6 days ago

I thought it was Codsworth

[–] douz0a0bouz@midwest.social 19 points 6 days ago

I have a cousin named Cody... that I haven't seen since high school 🤔🤔🤔😯

Isnt there a youtuber called codyslab? He looks pretty old.

[–] boonhet@lemm.ee 5 points 6 days ago (1 children)

WhistlinDiesel is in his 20s too. Though portrays himself as having the intelligence of a 7th grader, so maybe that got him alived

[–] ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Uh, is that really a "portrayal"? Dude hangs out with Jake Paul.

[–] boonhet@lemm.ee 1 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

Dude is a millionaire in his 20s and got there by destroying expensive cars he needs to buy first. He's got at least 2 businesses besides YouTube that he uses his videos to advertise for, because destroying increasingly expensive cars is not sustainable and he knows it.

I can't stand some of his recent videos either, but to call him stupid is definitely an overstatement. Not saying he's a genius, but he must have at least average intelligence to have gotten to where he is.

To the best of my knowledge, he didn't exactly grow up with money either. He was pretty poor when he started making videos

Cody's Showdy.

[–] Wolf@lemmy.today 6 points 6 days ago

My uncle's name is Cody, he is 39. Unfortunately no one has strangled him yet. 🤞

[–] HEXN3T@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 6 days ago

8th for me. Can confirm otherwise, though.

There are less than 300k people named Cody in the US

It's just not a very popular name

[–] Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 5 points 6 days ago

The few codys I've met all wound up in logistics and/warehousing

[–] TankovayaDiviziya@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago

The real name of Youtuber Alternate History hub is Cody, and he is probably in his Thirty's by now.

A disproportionate number of them become NFL quarterbacks. Who then end up playing for the Cleveland Browns, which kills them.

[–] RoquetteQueen@sh.itjust.works 1 points 5 days ago

I met one. He was an asshole.

[–] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 3 points 6 days ago

I knew a Cody grade but I don't have any memories of him after that. Theory checks out..m

[–] Fingolfinz@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Damn..the one Cody I knew committed suicide and it was before 34

[–] faintwhenfree@lemmus.org 1 points 6 days ago

No way a bloke on my street named Cody died in car accident at the ripe age of 33. Conspiracy is real. /s

Cody Ko... but he probably likes seventh graders

[–] FreakinSteve@lemmy.world -3 points 6 days ago

It's a stupid name. If you have it, get it changed.

live news person / world's hairiest seventh grader reaction

[–] NatakuNox@lemmy.world 14 points 6 days ago

Turn out the only alive adult Cody is locked away in a room with only fox news and the communist Manifesto as info... For his safety of course

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 27 points 1 week ago (5 children)

Cody's Showdy gets no respect.

I had a friend named Cody who was a straight A student, changed schools in 7th grade, fell in with a bad group of kids, got into a car accident, fell into a coma, lost site in one eye, and now coaches snowboarding. Not dead, though

[–] misterdoctor@lemmy.world 16 points 1 week ago

Not dead, though

Yes dead inside doesn’t count

[–] slacktoid@lemmy.ml 30 points 1 week ago (7 children)

Wait what about Doctor Mister Cody?

[–] hperrin@lemmy.ca 13 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Warmbo is actually his bodyguard, and the corn cream is actually antidote.

I managed a Cody whom I called Codeine because he was a such a dope. 30ish, sold himself as a technician. In a car shop, pulled a ceiling mounted air hose over the left front fender to fill the rear tire, scratched the paint badly from the gritty hose. Left the bosses rolling stool under the alignment lift and heard plywood cracking as he lowered it, didn’t bother stopping until it was flat. Found out a week later he left the tierod nuts loose after adjustment. Left a flathead screwdriver in his back pocket and popped a hole in the customer seat. Worked one full day, sent home at lunch the next day with a full days pay, worth the price to get rid of him.

I was thinking that was dude's first month from the way you were describing it. One day?! He's like a walking condom advertisement!

[–] WolfmanEightySix@piefed.social 13 points 1 week ago

Got a nickname like that in a day and a half.

[–] chrisbtoo@lemmy.ca 20 points 1 week ago (2 children)

That's because Cody is short for Come On Die Young.

[–] Crackhappy@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago (1 children)
[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago

Cum Once Die Young

[–] Blackout@fedia.io 11 points 1 week ago (1 children)

They usually change it back to Cod Liver Oil when they become adults

[–] Genius@lemmy.zip 1 points 6 days ago

What about the tuna booze oil?

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 11 points 1 week ago

Or switches to their middle name to avoid the shame of being "Cody."
