Conky is British informal slang for someone with a prominent or unusually large nose.
Definitions
Conky is British informal slang for someone with a prominent or unusually large nose. 'Conk' is established British slang for the nose, and '-y' adds the adjectival form meaning 'having a notable conk.' The register is informal and can be affectionately teasing or mildly unkind depending on context. It sits in the tradition of British nicknaming based on physical characteristics — someone might be called Conky as a nickname in exactly the same way they might be called Shorty or Ginger.
They called him Conky all through school, a nickname he eventually made peace with in his thirties.

British slang for a conscientious objector — someone who refuses military service on moral, ethical, or religious grounds. The shortened form 'conchy' was widely used during both World Wars, sometimes affectionately among those who shared the objector's views, and sometimes as a term of contempt from those who considered refusal cowardly or unpatriotic. Today it carries more historical than active usage, surfacing most often in discussions of wartime history, pacifism, and civil liberties.
