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 was known
as The Walking Dead during my schooldays, as I was very tall for my age, as well as being stick-insect thin and having an extremely pale complexion. The fact that I managed to break my arm by just falling over in a relatively uninteresting way while playing football led to the name "Brittlebones"
I also had various puns made on my surname (Cockbill), such as Cocktail, Cockballs and the splendidly abstract Snotwheels, which I loved merely because they missed the obvious penis-related joke and went off on a massive tangent.
