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 So Many.......When your name is Sam Wise, the nicknames get fairly predictable, so I won't go there. I did go to school with one chap who had a fairly creative sense of humour however, and who adapted my nicknames in various ways.
It all began when I was in a bad mood for some reason, and he decided to refer to me as "Oh Happiness and Glory" for a few days. That was later shortened to OHAG, and then Haggis, and Scottish Person, repeated references were made to kilt wearing, and caber tossing, all on the basis that I'd had a grumpy day some time when we were about 14. I went to college with him too, and it stretched on for years.
2 years ago, I caught up with him through friends reunited, and was not a bit surprised at the opening to his reply. The subject line was OHAG! And the email began "Dear Scottish Bastard....."
