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.

Working for a carpenter in my misspent youth, there was a fellow who had a large port wine stain on a large part of his face. We affectionately called him "spleen eye"
Went over big in deli's, " Hey spleen-eye, grab me a soda!" That got lots of angry looks.
He was a nice chappy, though....
