Choppers Bikers
Why is Mark Brandon Read also known as Chopper…..?
Where does the “Chopper” come from?
the 3 ideas i can think of (i don’t know if any are right), are:
1: his d*ck.
2: at one point in the film he, or one of his friends wears the biker cross insignia, so it could be a biker nickname.
3: possibly a favorite weapon being an axe or machete
This is what Chopper says, about his nickname on his myspace page. Probably not what you expected, but the name does suit him as an adult. You should read his books it’s all in there too.
There are a few obscure theories as to how I got my nickname, some reckon it is from an old cartoon, some say it is because I use to cut off the toes of others, while there are those that say it is because I had someone cut my ears off in jail.
For the record, it is from the Hanna-Barbera cartoon “Yakky Doodle”.
Chopper was the big dog who looked after Yakky the little duck. Every time the fox tried to attack the duck, the big dog Chopper would tell Yakky “Now Yakky, you put your little wings over your eyes. Don’t you look at what I’m gonna do to this fox” and then Chopper would bash the sh!t out of the fox.
Well I used to go to school with a little kid called Laurie Whitaker and they used to call him Yakky, so naturally they called me Chopper. So my old man called me little Chopper or “Chop Chop” from when I was in grade 3. Wherever I went, he’d say “Come on Chop Chop”.
And the name fit well with my later career.
Imagine if the dog had been called Fluffy.
This is what Chopper had to say on Andrew Denton’s show “Enough Rope”.
I’m Mark Read. Mark Read, Chopper Read. I mean they called me Chopper since, what, grade three. What? Am I going to uninvent my nickname?
