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.

Wrong WombleAt college we had a small, nervous lecturer, with black straight hair that looked just like Tomsk form the wombles (the one with the cap).
So we called him Orinoco...?!?!
usually shorted to Ori,he would visibly stiffen at 2-300 yards away when the shout went up-
"Spotted Ori!"
Orinoco spotting was quite popular,as a pastime...
