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.

Donkey
On about day three at big school, Carl Sawetz, god love him, called me a donkey. It stuck, I am a bit of a donkey.
Everyone called me donkey for the next 5 years, (why the long face? oh cos you're a donkey! hahaha) though it did eventually get shortned to the more affectionate "donks".
On the plus side, I got to uni and people found out what my nickname was. They assumed (pretty much entirely wrongly) that I was called donkey because I was hung like a small horse. Consequently most of my year now think I pack a purple headed womb ferret Linford Christie would be proud of.
Fortunately only a select, and discrete group of ladies have ever had the misfortune to discover the crushing truth.
