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.

When my dad was a kid, he came home from school upset one day, because the teacher had got his name wrong. It turned out he misheard her when she pointed to him and said 'This is average height'.
We still call him Average Pipe sometimes.
