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.

He lived up to it,too.
During my uni days,I had the misfortune of knowing Ian,one of the most pretentious art-school dropouts ever to clutter the face of the earth. He was about as welcome at any gathering as your mum on your honeymoon(which should be not),yet somehow,he always managed to be around.
One day,he showed up at our local with the beginnings of a patchy goatee on his chin. . .and was known as 'Twatface' from then on.
For variety we called him Yeastie,for like the infection he was annoying,hard to get rid of,and once you thought the fucker was finally gone,surprise -- he's back.
