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 have spent my whole life as a fat, four-eyed ginger and yet no one ever gave me a nickname. Except, briefly and fairly affectionately, Monster. Which I thought lacked imagination.
One of my friends, though, acquired the splendid nicknames "Helix Daunting" and "Owlets Denuding" after an accident with a spellchecker. He seemed pleased.
