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.

Nettle RashWhen I was 12, I was at a Scouts competition at Downe Campsite, near Biggin Hill. I had to rush over to a evening meeting as part of the competition.
I was running a bit late, and against advice, I ran there in there in the dark, in a tshirt and shorts.
When I turned up, I had uncontrollable itching just above my knees. As it turned out, what I thought was a badly kept field turned out to be a near meadow of stinging nettles.
For the rest of my time there, I was known as Nettle Rash. After this happened, I wore jeans for the rest of the weekend to hide the fact that the abrasions looked like genital warts.
Fun.
