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.

DIY nicknames work if you're a hipster, I guess.Years ago, I was at a big hipster-ish dance party. I got there a bit early, and was getting a head start on the drinking while waiting for my friends, and this guy approaches me. He was dressed like the beginning of the movie Velvet Goldmine, and he apparently had an intense dislike for soap and water. He introduced himself as, I dunno, Trevor, and began to blather on about nonsense. I summarily made my escape. However, at the end of the night, he handed me a piece of paper.
It said "Ace" and had a phone number on it.
I asked "Who's Ace?"
He said "That's what I want people to call me from now on."
Me: "Good luck with that."
People DID end up calling this guy Ace.
