I did not choose any nicknames that were especially cruel or racist. Some are very obscure. Not all President's had derogatory nicknames. This quiz is all in fun, please don't take offense.

	Ok firstly, make us answer in order otherwise it's just guess all the presidents. Secondly I think you should remove the third column as if you know your presidents you will just answer based on the third column and not the clues. Finally, remove the nicknames which include the President's surname (eg Bull Johnson, Granny Hayes) as they are effectively giving us the answer. If you make those changes this could be a good quiz

	I agree with all of the above...it is a fun idea but you provide too many hints...make the limitations described by AutonomusPlebian and you've got a good one!

	klangston25:	Jun 21st, 2011 at 17:54 GMT		7 points
	thanks for the comments guys. I changed all those things you suggested.

	carbon_rod:	Jun 21st, 2011 at 19:33 GMT		7 points
	Perhaps even take out the nicknames that include the first name, if it's an uncommon one (like Cal); there's enough Johns or Jameses that they can stay. On a different note, why no nicknames for Washington or Lincoln?

	chriskotx:	Jun 22nd, 2011 at 04:47 GMT		4 points
	All 3 of the above nicknames for LBJ are new on me - but I've heard him called "Landslide Lyndon" more than once. I drove through his hometown today, btw.

	I looked at several different sources and couldn't find any nicknames for Lincoln or Washington that were derogatory. I was really surprised especially for Lincoln. He wasn't very popular in the South for some reason. As for the obvious first names I kept them in only because there are so many obscure ones that I thought I would throw in a few gimmees. For instance if anyone knows "the American Louis Philippe" off the top of their heads they either are cheating or work as presidential historians.

	I think the only thing that could make this quiz better would be an explanation column, because some of these are obscure enough that it's not readily apparent why he was called 10-cent Jimmy. Perhaps that instead of the "Political Party/Term in Office" column, because that's more easily google-able than an explanation of these nicknames. Great quiz and 5 sporcles!

	I added Landslide Lyndon because I saw it on Jeopardy last night as a sarcastic nickname. You are right about some of them being obscure, mrdalliard. Buchanan was nicknamed Ten Cent Jimmie because of quote he said during the 1856 campaign that the average working man could live on 10 cents a day. If you click on the word wikipedia after source it will give you a list of the nicknames I used and their explanation.

	Love the quiz, but all the nicknames are not necessarily derogatory. For example, Polk's nickname, "Young Hickory" is a reference to Andrew Jackson being known as "Old Hickory." This is not derogatory in the least since Jackson was a very popular president.

	GiantsJoe2110:	Jun 27th, 2011 at 02:32 GMT		5 points
	I don't consider Dubya, W., Junior, Senior, Young Hickory, or Ronnie to be particularly derogatory. As philiph said, Young Hickory is a comparison between Jackson and Polk. And W., Junior, Senior, and Ronnie are just parts of or another way to say their names. That's like if someone called me "Joey," I don't particularly like it but it's not derogatory. I guess Dubya maybe because it makes fun of his accent, but I think he liked it.

	Sheldon:	Jul 5th, 2011 at 11:04 GMT		6 points
	My only suggestion would be to widen the first column, since it requires the most space, whereas the answer column only needs a one line name. Other than that, everything else is great!

	caramba:	Jul 17th, 2011 at 06:53 GMT		3 points
	I thought for sure His Accidency would be Gerald Ford

	SomeoneRandom:	Aug 12th, 2011 at 18:17 GMT		1 point
	Sorry to nitpick, but 'Potomac', 4th from the bottom in the first column, is misspelled.

	blues95:	Aug 24th, 2011 at 06:04 GMT		1 point
	They had a much better class of political insult back in the 1800s. "Old Sink or Swim" and "The Fainting General" are pretty good and poor old Rutherford B Hayes seems to have attracted a few enemies.

@caramba, maybe Ford could be known as His Accidency II
