Worst Nicknames EverEveryone 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.

Joe 90*sigh*
If you grew up in the 70's as I did and had glasses you either got called Joe 90 or Milky Bar Kid. I suppose it made a change from "speccy-four eyes"
I'm sure the people who come up with kid characters that wear glasses are trying to be positive, to create role models that encourage children who need glasses to actually wear them.
It actually just provides another excuse for bullying, hence that schoolkid the other day that I heard saying "Oi, you! yes you, you Harry Potter wanker" to a bespectacled fellow shcoolboy. Nothing changes.
