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.

Guess I was lucky..
My nickname at school was Penfold, mainly because my hair sprouted up in the middle and I once had the worst pair of thick rimmed round glasses, think Harry Potter but plastic tortoise shell and 4 times as thick.
That stuck for about 8 years, until at uni when I was caught in a comprimising position by a young ladies visiting parents. I started to speak French and pretended I couldn't understand their shouting and demanding what I was doing in their beloved daughters bedroom naked. It became "Frog" very quickly...
Others from school were
Skids
Steg - from a stegasaurus pencil topper a mate had when he was 6.
