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.

Our P.E. teacher's name was Mr Arnott.
He was a big, imposing, scary man to all us young 'uns. A bit of a hard-nut, if you will.
Anyway, Mr Arnott wore shorts all the time, hence us rechristening him Arnie Shortsanegger.
We were all of seven or eight when we thought this up, and the punnery makes me giggle even today.
