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 acquired the nickname James Bond at primary school - an odd nickname with an odder backstory. We had recently moved into a new house and the previous occupants, who sold kitchens, had left a state of the art one installed, complete with built-in deep fat fryer, waste disposal unit and a bin in a cupboard. I had had a gathering at chez moi for me and a few mates and one of them mentioned in school the next day that I had a "James Bond Kitchen", and that was that.
Meanwhile my brother named a friend of ours Bernard, after his resemblance to Nursey from Blackadder II (whose real name turns out to be Bernard). This nickname stuck so well that now his mum calls him Bernie, and he almost got thrown out of uni about four times because the lecturers didn't realise he was turning up, believeing his name to be Bernard...
LICK MY LENGTH AND GIRTH YOU BEEYATCHES!
