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.

The navy can, indeed be cruel with nicknames.
Cess Pitt.
Silica Gell.
Swish Curtin (the noise it makes as you pull the curtains back).
There were two Nobby Clarke's in my mess.
Nobby the stoker.
Wobbly Nobby, as a result of a limp gained due to a spinal injury.
I was Wobbly Nobby. Which didn't really bother me. At least it was unique.
At least I wasn't "That fat cnut Hicks".
