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.

Harsh but FairThe school bus was a breeding ground for excellent, imaginative and usually hurtful nicknames.
I remember a group of girls we used to see in Sutton at the bus stop. I think they went to St Philomena's catholic girls school in Carshalton.
Anyway, as our bus pulled up at their stop, we would all bellow their nicknames out the window. These included:
MEAT FLAPS for the least attractive one of them.
HOD CARRIER for the heavily set one.
DAVID BELLAMY for the dark haired one with a bit of a moustache.
I cringe now at how embarrassing this must of been for them in front of all the other commuters...everyday.
In an ironic twist of fate, several years later I ended up going out with the David Bellamy one for about a year, who amusingly still referred to her friends as Hod Carrier and Meatflaps.
