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 ghost of christmas pastI have always been very pale-skinned, almost to the point of phosphorescence. I’m not albino, I just can’t tan to save my life.
This is a bit of a disadvantage when you go to highschool in Africa.
I was generally considered to be a fairly amiable fellow, so “Casper the Friendly Ghost” popped up as a good potential nickname for me. There was a fine balance as to whether it would evolve into just “Casper” or “Ghost”, and while I did get both, I was mainly called Ghost for most of my time there.
I quite liked it.
