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.

What WAS his name?When I was about 10, I was in a tenpin bowling league (which is a pretty tragic way to start a story, I know.) Anyway, there was this lad there who wore glasses. We all called him 'Four Eyes'.
As far as we were concerned, that was his name. He answered to it, and even referred to himself as 'Four Eyes'. It's only now, 16 years down the line, that I realise that, not only do I not have the faintest idea what his real name was; but that it's not exactly ... acceptable.. to call a bespectacled fella 'Four Eyes'.
The innocence of youth, eh?
