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.

A Random one
I have a friend who everyone calls Monty. Couldn't work out why, so i asked a friend who went to school with him.
Turns out back in 6th form a bunch of the lads had just seen Withnail & I for the first time and were very amused by the antics of Uncle Monty. So much so they decided that somebody MUST have this as a nickname. It was decided that the next person through the door of the common room would have this honour bestowed upon them. Poor boy.
He's now 28. I've known him for 5 years and only just found out his real name...
