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.

I have long hair, so what!!
As you can most probably tell my name is john but as my mates REFUSE to accept guys can have long hair so they dubbed me joan. (so what u may think). However this name got used so much that people started to forget my name (and my sex) after about 6 months of being called this, my teachers at 6th form started calling my joan instead of john. I remember my computing teacher looking at my work with the name john written on it and he asking who's work this was when my m8s pointed at me he went "oh!, joan". Even when i phoned my friends houses i heard their mums shouting at my mates, "ian! it's joan!!.
Personally the worst point was when my parents stopped calling me john but joan. So now it has stuck and i am waiting for the day when i get arrested and a judge not accepting my real name.
On another note: A drunk guy in teh pub 1 day saw me and decided i was a girl and started hitting on me. After thinking this was dam hilarious my mates pointed out i was a guy and the guy looking a bit dissapointed turned to me and said, "Don't worry, your mates may have spoilt any chance of you pulling but to me you will always be shaz!" I have no idea where teh name came from but that stuck for a while but not as well as Joan...*sigh*
