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.

At my school one of the maths teachers was mr slavin. so we called him bilic after the obscure 90s footballer slaven bilich. I think only 5 of us got it, but everyone used it. Also a kid called JP was nicknamed Jay Gayness. And a camp kid called something robinson was changed to bender benderson, never felt bad about that until i saw him last week for the first time in 5 years and he recognised me. now i feel bad.
when i was 12 i was nicknamed the ginger biscuit from hell. or maybe someone called me that once and i made it stick in a Mr Cool Ice kinda way. either way its awesome.
I also call my sister dave all the time except at funerals. her name is kate. i cant actually remember why
