13. Capone's Closest Friends Nicknamed Him "Snorky"
Thankfully for Capone, his friends knew he loathed the name "Scarface" - and instead his closest confidantes used a number of nicknames for him, including "Snorky". A slang Chicago term which refers to someone who is fashionable and dresses elegantly, "Snorky" was used by his closest friends. However, they also nicknamed Capone "King Alphonse" and the "Big Fella" - while his pseudonym was "Al Brown".
