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.

'You name a child Tiago and expect him NOT to be bullied?'
Nicknames have a bitchy way of mutating the monger you keep answering to them. One of my nicknames, if you ask some of my oldest friends, is Cholera.
What a lovely nickname for such a lovely lady, I hear you cry.
I'm quite short, you see. 5ft3 to be exact. So it started out as midget, then became midge, then mozzie and then onto Cholera.
Although I do hate tonic water. Maybe they're right.
Why do people drink tonic water? Horrible bitter fizzy, and then they go and have GIN with it. Horrible bitter fizzy with the aftertaste of aftershave. GAH. Like grapefruit. Why eat shitty bitter grapefruits when you could have a lovely orange? But I digress. Bye.
EDITO! Cried Harry...: Yes. Crap one, but my dad is known to his mates as 'The Razz'. Not because of his razzle-dazzle, or because he goes out on mad nights of booze and women, but because he's a cripple. Rasberry Ripple. Oh ha.
