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.

I went to bad schools...At Junior school I got the name "Gypo" as in Gypsee, on account of the fact my tracksuit trousers had holes in the knees. Given that like any 7 year old I would crawl about on the floor a lot any trousers didn't last long. I think they stuck at it as it visibly pissed me off. On the other hand what my folks saved on trousers paid off the mortgage and now the family is doing quite well, take that you council housed gits! :)
Also secondary school, equally bad. Ironically one of my mates christened me "Norman No-friends", which given I was probably his only mate seemed rather unfair. It stuck for many years.
Needless to say I'm happy to say that when I left that school I left the names and plonkers who devised them behind and am much happier now.
One nick name I did like was from university. I broke my foot during drunken antics and got the name "Skippy" as I hobbled around on crutches/limping a lot. Strangely I like that one.
