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.

I've had more than a couple
A brief selection:
Hamburger / Cheeseburger - from the latter years of junior school. No idea.
Garrota - after the composting accelerator, it would appear. Scouts.
Jezebel - scouts. Annoying.
Smelly - developed by a Billy Bunter-alike, to place me on the lowest level of the pecking order at school. That he was four years younger than me didn't help. Nor did having a hundred first-years chanting at me. Ho-hum.
Click-click - from a ridiculous photographic rumour at school, that I shall not elaborate upon.
Jez - an entire persona I inadvertently developed at university, after having discovered that people liked me. Well, it was a new sensation.
Knowledge / Knowledge Man. First year at university - developed from my talent for remembering pointless facts, as is illustrated in my profile.
Simmo - from my surname. University Rugby club, imaginative as ever...
As for others, I think the worst I came across was "Child Molestor" - also from those lovely fellows the Rugby Club.
