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.

All appropriateKnew a guy nicknamed Mango because whenever he ran, he kept his arms straight to his sides. He looked rather ape-like whilst running, hence Mango, I suppose.
I daily encounter a cashier with the name Ugh. This pisses him off to a great degree, but it's fitting though as he is probably the missing link.
Finally, a good friend of mine goes by Kunt. His name is Kent, so it makes perfect sense to us and he neither argues nor takes offense.
Edit: Then of course, there's my nick. Pinhead...not the most inventive, but it's because my surname is Penrod. So, logically, Pen=Pin=Pinhead.
