Talk:Spider (nickname)

why, tho?

Could someone please explain why some people are called ‘spider’ ? A generic explanation ? I know that people with the sir-name ‘Webb’ often attract it. This does not explain many of the others. 2001:44B8:3102:BB00:7DDD:D499:AFE2:CFA5 (talk) 06:16, 15 March 2020 (UTC)

There's no one reason. Sometimes it's explained in the article (e.g. Woody Brown (surfer): "I surf with my arms all out, half squatting down, and with my long legs I look like a big spider riding a board.") and sometimes it's not. Clarityfiend (talk) 18:51, 15 March 2020 (UTC)
