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.

My drunken neighbor at university...
couldn't pronounce my surname (Ptomey) and decided to go with the first thing he thought of: Poontaki.
I'm rather hairy. One chaotic night, the same neighbor found me completely pissed arse-naked sitting on the floor of our suite's shower. He'd decided to check on me because it was 4 in the morning and I'd been in there for an hour-and-a-half. Seeing me in my hairy gloriousness (including my long hair draped over my head making me look like Cousin It) spawned the addition to my nickname: Monster.
And so my nickname, Poontaki Monster, spread throughout the entire hall - along with that story.
