Worst Nicknames EverEveryone 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 once got 'Cuckoo'I know when not to push my luck. It wasn't actually awful, so time to quite while you're ahead.
At my school there was a distinct lack of imagination;-follow this simple mathematical formula.
1) Surname[truncation]= nickname OR
2) Surname+'y'=nickname.
3) Surname [truncated] + 'zz'=nickname
Type 1:
Leashorne=Lea
Roffe=Roff
Stilliard=Stil
Spencer=Spen
McKenzie=Kenz
Type 2 :
Smith=Smithy
Jones=Jonesy
White=Whitey
Park=Parky
Price=Pricey
Type 3 :
Perry = Pezz
Summerill = Suzz
Scully = Scuzz (OK, I made that one up. But it would have been funny if I'd have thought of it 19 years ago)
And then there's just proper nicknames.
Reep = Gibbon
Marrey = Maggot.
and
Oakley= Smeg. poor girl, seeing as how she was actually rather sexy. Kids are Evil.
