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.

had a variety of nicknames over the years, most coming from my dear beloved family.
My dad's affectionate nicknames for me started out as 'Flora' when I was very young (I was confused; I thought he meant the margarine), to Rat ass now I'm older.
My brother used to call me 'Hessy McGregor' (after that farmer out of Peter Rabbit) and he even had a taunt that went 'Hessy McGreeeegor, dun dun'. He also called me 'Smidge' because apparently I'm not big enough to be a smudge.
And my mum calls me 'Face ache' to this day. Luckily my other brother dosen't call me anything; then again he's Autistic so just hits me instead.
At work I get called Pepper. Because of my love for Dr. Pepper I assume, unless they're all secret Brian Peppers fans.
I would apologise for length, but apparently I'm only a smidge.
