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.

a strange one...Ok. I once worked in a popular computer game retail environment (or shop).
We had a bunch of us... There was Ste trotter who ended up as 'Trottski' or the 'trotter'. Then there was ste deluce who ended up with 'Bruce deluce'. Then there was me, Leonard which changed to 'Lentil', 'Leonardo', 'lennyboy', 'leopard', 'Lentin' etc...
Mike Battersby became 'battyboy' (although not to his face as he was our manager), or occasionaly we called him 'Les' (les battersby)
and the funniest was a guy called kev (who was deaf). Once we shouted across the shop for him to grab a copy of the game 'splinter cell'... and he replied 'Wasp and sell?'.... I mean wtf?
So forever onwards we called him 'The Wasp'... and even better than that our new deputy manager once asked why we called him wasp... quick as a flash 'Bruce' replied... it's cos his ear buzzes... Laugh? I nearly spat kenco out of my nose.
Length and shit.
