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.

We had a maths teacher at school who was a little insane... he assigned everyone in a class a nickname. I was chosen to represent the "son's", and thus any surname ending in '-son' became my nickname - Donaldson, Parkinson, Phillipson, Hodgkinson, Wilkinson etc. Which was especially confusing as we had a Wilkinson and a Parkinson in the class already.
My French teacher also nicknamed me 'splodge' for some reason I'm still not aware of. This was in the 2nd year (2000). I'm still known as splodge today by most people from school.
And at work, my nickname is Martay.
