Worst Nicknames EverEveryone 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.

The last one is the best.My uncle's nickname is Dumpy, for Dumptruck. I guess he resembles one. Wasn't aware that I wasn't supposed to call it to his face...
My cousin's name is Kent, and he gets called Trevor, I have no idea why. My little sister has always been called Jack by his mum, which also has nothing to do with her name. I just got Katus.
One of my friends thought it would be hilarious to call me Gusset when I was younger, as 'gus' is part of my surname. I didn't know what a gusset was til much later (it's the... reinforced? for lack of a better word, part of a pair of undies)
That same friend has a long-standing nickname of 'Busharse'. Her last name is Heginbotham, which is quite a mouthful... one kid called her 'hedgey bottom' which eventually evolved to Busharse. I love it.
Girth beats length every time, boys.
