Worst Nicknames Ever
Everyone wants a cool nickname like "Ace", "Boss", or "Iron". Kids being kids, that's not what we get - the kid with polio gets called Johnny Spazm, your Ginger Fuhrer was called Rob Man-you-smell and your question master was "Tommy" Trinder despite him being dead for years.
Tell us the worst you've heard and the stories behind them.

The Orb
After we were banned from calling Barry Forster "Orbasm" for reasons that were never made entirely clear, we instead called him "The Orb", and he went on to become a well known musician under this moniker*.
And Rod was known as mallet because a) he had a square head, and b) kept running into trees.
Broadbent didn't need a nickname.
Being an Alistair, I did. I never had a nickname, though. I had rubbish friends.
