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.

Spewings
The average ten year old's rhyming vocabulary is limited at the best of times, but with a surname as strange as mine, Spewings was the best anyone could ever come up with.
It gained a certain resonance however one French trip when, following two cans of Cherry 7-Up and a big bag of peanut M&M's my stomach decided that the back seat of the coach (the first time I had been granted access to it by the 'cool kids') needed redocorating, in a strange fizzy brown colour.
Later shortened to simply Spewz.
