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.

MegaDeath and Probo Cop
Both were before my time to be honest, but part of my schools folklore anyway. The first was a geography/humanities teacher called Mrs Meradeth who was universally disliked and refered to as Mrs MegaDeath. She was disliked to such an extent that pupils used to come up with stories of how they imagine her dieing. Gareth Edwards’ older brother once declared to all of his friends that she was going to die I a horrible car crash. Within months the poor old girl was left in a coma after a fairly horrific car crash. She later died and the boy Edwards was convinced he was somehow responsible.
The 2nd was Mrs Probert, a home economics teacher. Probo Cop was a mentalist by all accounts who’d throw pots and pans at students who took the piss. Rumour has it that she once locked Stewart Askey in a cupboard because he called her Probo Cop to her face.
And my nickname at school? Snow; because of my then incredibly bright blond hair (and probably ‘smelly twatty twat face’ behind my back).
