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.

Nicknames
I play rugby and have copped some specials in my time.
As I was one of the first to get hair on my chest I was labelled "Beast".
Later on in life I was playing inside centre in a team where the whole back line was over 6 foot. Me being 5" 7' the term "Potato Gem" was coined.
But I have got my own back.
Once called a bloke "Showbag" as he was full of shit. (for those that dont know a showbag is something you get at a fair, that contains toys and sweets).
His brother came to play for the club and was nicknamed "Handbag".
A winger who didnt like to tackle was called "Shitscared".
A squat ugly prop forward had the infamous name of "Womble".
And a man from New Zealand heralded as "Fugs" - F*cking Ugly.
