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.

I know of a lot of 'emFirst off is my mate, Jonny, who has been nicknamed 'Bondage' for reasons I'm not sure ANYBODY knows.
Another guy I know collects hoovers, so we affectionately call him 'hoover boy' (witty, I know)
My supervisor at work nicknamed my boss, Dave, 'Davey Ravey'. I'm not sure about that one, either. I asked my supervisor why she called him that and she just said "because that's what he is: 'Davey Ravey'". Most helpful, thanks. Well, he's nicknamed her 'trouble', now, but it hasn't caught on quite as well amongst the other staff.
Another girl I know nicknamed her Mum, 'Mummypoos' which became abbreviated over time to 'Pooface'.
And me? I've had 'Biggles' and 'Mr Bigglesworth', due to my surname, which I'm not going to post here, because I don't trust you lot not to be stalkers.
