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'm a Briggs too. I only ever met one other Briggs who wasn't related to me - that was Sara Briggs who went to my school.
Unlike you and I, she was a triple hard bastard. And it's thanks to her that I spent much of senior school being called "Ginger minge".
Although the monicker may have been factually accurate after the age of 11, it soon wore thin.
The joke, that is.
