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.

![This is a QotW answer](/images/board_posticon.gif)
This one is my friend who, on a night out with a lady friend (who was his girlfriend about 10 minutes later, crafty lad) walked her back to her house. En route, she nearly walks into a tree, which my friend pushes away to prevent possible scratchy injury. Nothing special.
Next day, I get wind of this. Being the barmy, pathetically single bugger that I was, I blew this out of proportion and to this day we call him Tim the Tree Slayer. I spun a tale of strife, woe and percevierance where he valiantly risks his own saftey to protect his fair damsel.
Every long branch we pass, every overgrown tree, every odd-looking rosebush; he gets a comment. He's rather sick of it now, but nobody else seems to care. Possibly went to far when I suggested the only reason they got together was because he saved her from the clutches of the evil oak tree of Alekor. *dramatic noise*
I'm available, ladies...
