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.

Oh my god.I just remembered.
I'm not sure how it started, I'll try finding out and getting back to this, but we had this kid at school. Fairly early on in his school-life I think he got the nickname "Whacka". By about year 10, his nickname had become a cult. During classes and things, people would say it quietly and gradually build up to yelling "WHACKA!!!!" as loud as they could. All to chubby Whacka smiling in the back row.
By our last year it had gotten insane. There was now an official pronounciation. "WwwwwwwwwwwwwwhACKA!" is what it sounded like.
Groups of people would organise, during official assemblies, graduation dinners, anything and everything formal, informal, sporting events with other schools for gold cups and things, to yell it out. "Let us sing the school hymn before quietly exiting via the back entrances and not to disturb our guests." "Wwwwwwwhacka!!!!!!". This in a school of several thousand, often up to a few hundred would be yelling it out.
I don't think many of the younger ones ever understood. Exchange students and visitors must have been horrified.
WwwwwwwhACKA!!!!
