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.

Oh yes...I worked with a bloke who had a massive appetite. Whenever someone brought in cakes or sweets, he'd be first there, even if it was on a different floor, same with a buffet - he'd shamelessly be queueing up for his second plateful before some had got their first.
Anyway...I was mucking about on Googl3, as you do, when someone commented that Mike was a real truffle hound when it came to cakes. So I set about searching for a nice picture of a truffle hound or pig to pin on his desk. Instead, I found this:

I put a print-out on his desk, but almost felt sorry for him when he found it, especially as he knew that everyone else had read it first. Anyway, Truffle Bear is now his name.
Bloke at college was known as Chutters because we thought he was a mongy/mango/chutney...
One of my best mates at school had the enviable nick-name 'Wonder-willy', he later changed it to Jigsaw - [hi Stredz if you're there]
