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.

I had a habit
of making up highly amusing nicknames for people, and then not telling anyone in case the person found out and was offended, eg:
All-Conquering Will: a lefty called Will.
Ten-tons: a guy called Brenton who was a bit chubby.
The Rare Old Mountain Jew: a Jewish guy whose father was Scottish.
Lionel from the Age of Vinyl: a guy called Lionel, who kept going to clubs despite being a bit past his use-by date.
