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.

A lad I went to school with has been called “Winnet”
It all came from the fact he could make himself fart, and on a school trip to France he was demonstrating this amazing gift. On hearing a teacher coming to see what was happening (6-7 lads and lasses in a bedroom just before bedtime, basically at the point where they start getting interested in on another. ) he forced a little too hard and shat a pea sized amount on the floor. One swift kick of it under the bed later in front of a shocked group and the nickname was born. He lived with it throughout school.
I’m now 32, and he’s still referred to as “Winnet” whenever we’re reminiscing.
