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.

Dave
Many many moons ago, when I started Aikido (sort of origami but with people) there were loads of Daves in the beginners class. However, this being too easy, it was decided to call EVERYONE "Dave" plus a distinguisher.
Hence my sister-in-law's moniker of "Dave the girl", shortened several times in the presence of my (now ex) wife's family to just "Dave".
They really didn't get it.
I've already said, it's the girth I have to apologise for.
