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.

Baa
When I was about 15 there was a nice girl in my art class called Jane. It was around the time of the whole BSE/scrapie hoopla and I imaginatively called her 'Scrapie Jane' because she...um...lived on a farm. (smooth). It stuck. There was even a song. Relatively mild in itself but it mustn't have been nice for her when on boarding the coach for a school trip, fifty kids burst into a rousing chorus of 'Jane, Jane, Jane, Scrapie Jane, Scrapie Jane' to the tune of the Star Wars theme.*
Sorry Jane.
* Edit - or rather, the Imperial March. C'mon it's Friday...
