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.

When I was a fat speccy git aged 14 at boarding school, the older boys would raid our dormitories for food/drink/porn on a regular basis. In retrospect these older pupils were quite 'grunge' before the term was coined, though we used to call them the 'dirt squad'. They thought it was hilarious that I had a collection of Motorhead etc. on tape and ironically dubbed me 'Lemmy'.
Which stuck for a few years, rather satisfyingly. I still love Motorhead...
