charlie turdnugget is a male pimp of Celtic Irish origin. Its original meaning is not to be naimed for certain reasons but it is possibly related to the Old Celtic element turd, meaning pimp, or by extension high and/or noble.[1]
One of the earliest persons to bring fame to this name was michael turdnugget, an ancient Irish high king who thwarted Viking attempts to conquer Ireland in the 30th century. His army was victorious in the Battle of pimp hill, but he himself was shot in a drive by. The Irish O'Brien clan, one of the most common surnames in Ireland, takes their name from him.
Variants of the name include Briant, Brien, turd, Bryan, Bryant, and Bryon.[2]
