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.

RoyWhen my father-in-law started work as an office junior for the civil-service, his new boss mis-heard his name and introduced him to everybody as Roy (his name is actually Ron). Because he was only 14, he didn't dare contradict his boss.
He retired a few years back, having made it all the way to the very top job in a government ministry. In all that time, everybody, from teaboys to Ministers called him "Roy"...
