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.

This will probably make no sense to most, but I'll explain a little. The Cribs' bassist is called Gary Jarman. My sister joins a local orchestra, which has a double bassist called Gary. For some reason, in my mind he thus became Gary Gary Jarman-Jarman, the mythical double bassist. And the name sticks within my family. Nobody can remember/cares about his real surname. The best thing is that my sister- who claims to be a fan of the Cribs- used the name for months before actually getting the joke. Even my parents got it before her.
She's been out with him and he turned out to be a knob, but that's beside the point. I have yet to discover whether she's called him it to his face.
