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.

Jethro Black
When we arrived at university, the uni had thoughtfully put name tags on everybody's doors in halls. I woke up after my first night there and my tag had inexplicably been changed in the night to read Jethro Black. Nobody owned up to it, but the name stuck for the next three years.
Still, makes a nice change from school - my last name rhymes with f**ker...
