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.

Nicknames? Hate 'em ;)Well, started out as Acko at primary school, (derived from surname), okay, not too bad, then went to secondary and grew my hair looong - and it's curly - so became, either Hair Bear (kinda cool!) or Crystal Tips (not cool!). Then became Phineas The Thug (not cool when you're introduced to people) cos I shaved all my hair off, and Fireman Phineas (a bit embarrasing, frankly, but better than nowt...) cos I joined the London Fire Brigade. At 19. With adolescent spots, oh yes. So from then on I was Spotty, or, to one particular wag of a sub-officer at training school 'E8'. Why, we asked. "'Cos it's the postcode for 'ackney! hur! hur!". Sigh.
Apologies, length, girth, whatever, fuck off then it's my first post...
