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.

not the most inventive...
of nicknames was the one i lived with through High School, my surname "Birnie". A supply teacher once misheard my friends and assumed they were calling me Barney, and that this was my real name so i spent a good number of years being either Birnie or Barney depending on who you asked.
