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.

How to abuse a mate...
Used to call a good friend the following names as it used to really wind him up to the point he would always strop off in girly huff.. We would drive him nuts by not telling him for weeks or months what they were about. Here a few with explanations attached.
Badger : Someone told me that badgers shagged cats, So a round about way of calling him a cat shagger!!
Chandelier : As in rhyming slang for queer as he was so gay when he would get in a strop and run off. Again this one went on for weeks until he eventually persuaded us to tell him what it meant.. Funnily enough he still stropped off when we called him it.
Vic : Short for “Victor Mature” as he was so mature when he would strop off like a girl when we called him Vic.. For some reason this was accompanied by us holding out both arms bent a 90 degrees at the elbow.. Cannot for life of me remember why… Eventually we did not even need to say "Vic" just stand around with our arms out and would eventually have a hissy fit and strop off..
Just to add a little information, you may think this was a bunch of eight year olds being shits to each other… No were all 19 or 20 at the time…..
Length ? Singing “To the ends of my girth...Laa la la laaa”...
