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.

My brother...
My brother was known as "Ten Bellies" when he was younger, because his friends reckoned he was twice as fat as Paul Gasgoine's morbidly obese Northern drinking pal, Jimmy Five Bellies.
They also called him "Cob" - on the basis that if they couldn't shorten Jake, they'd lengthen it to Jacob and then shorten that instead.
(Neither of which are as bad as one of his mates though, who was known as "Jack the Ripper" after a wanking accident...)
