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.

like ass, buti was the lone south asian kid in a small canadian town. those of you who know your cricket even vaguely can guess why i was called 'asser' for several painful years.
also, whenever i wanted to annoy my little bro, who has a VERY large head, bordering on hydroencephalitis, i would simply utter the magic phrase 'melonhead', sit back, and watch the show. he's named after a prophet, but prefers Moe (to me, it sounds too much like a Stooge). 'Moe-ham-head' was also a sweet button to push, now that i think of it.
i wear glasses, and after the 'asser' thing got cold, they boiled 'spectacles' down to 'speck', which helped me down the path of burning self-loathing that i carried with me for years.
at work, we called the young, bushy headed dishwasher 'harry potwash' which turned into 'potter'. my wife, who knew him well enough to know better, thought that potter was his last name.
asser asser moe melonhead potters, the lot of you.
