Worst Nicknames EverEveryone 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.

First year of primary schoolThere were two Neil Shahs in my class. You'd think the Powers That Be might have thought it would be a good idea to put them in different classes, having identical names and all, but no! Anyway, our teacher immediately christened them Neil 1 and Neil 2, and thus was their non-identity sealed for the rest of their school days.
We all called them Neil 1 or Neil 2, on the playground, outside school, even when the other one wasn't present, those were their names.
Neil 2 lives down my road now, and every time I see him I think, "Oh look, there's Neil 2..." nearly twenty years later!
