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.

I was called Blah at primary school, because I talked crap a lot and also because my surname is Blair and I can't pronounce it due to a speech defect (some call it a bur, some call it spazziness).
Worst nickname (in terms of annoyance factor anyway) I ever had was when I had flu and came back to school with a lot of cold sores and constant application of chapsticks to prevent any further ones resulting in a somewhat comical appearance. I was then called 'Big Chief Five Lips' for a few months.
