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.

At my dad's school there was a boy called Buzz
Quite a cool nickname, until you realised where it came from. Buzz suffered from cerebral palsy or something similar, so he had that thing where he couldn't straighten his arms, and just held them in front of him, with his hands like claws. Hence 'Buzzard'.
