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.

How many people here
got a bad nickname because their gym coach mispronounced their name while reading off the class roll?
Jim Duarte (doo AR tay) got called "Jim DuFart" and "Jimmy Durante" for four years straight, Noah Finley was called "Finely," Bobby Mangerson (MAN grr son) was called "Manger Son" (which we all shortened to Mange of course), and I myself (CHUR aash) was saddled with "Crotch."
