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.

living in china
i learnt that the chinese sometimes refer to an extremely fat person as "general belly" because in the army the generals will (without fail) be large in the stomach region. unfortunately, out of the two white guys in the village, i was the larger - and im not even fat - so i got general belly. as a poor payback, i called the other bloke daddy long legs with reference to his height. sad, i know, but ... times out there could get dull without this kind of banter.
