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.

Whilst working on a dice (craps) table,
we had nicknames for most of the punters, the worst ones being Colgate (due to the appalling state of his teeth), Spaceman (off his lid on cocaine most of the time), fifi (don't know why but he was a bell end anyway) and my absolute favourite:
There was a Chinese lad with a very long face, but our overuse of cockney rhyming slang described this as a boat (boat = boat race = face), hence the nickname Viking, because he had a long boat.
