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.

Anyone remember King's Quest V?It contained Cedric, the most annoying owl in the world. Not because of anything he did, but because of his ridiculous voice. It still brings a smile to my friends' faces, many years later, to hear "If you're going in there, Graham, than I'm staying out here!"
My brother Dewg decided that Cedric bore a striking resemblance to me. The fact that I didn't actually look anything like him made no difference, as is usual for these kinds of things.
So he decided to remind me on an hourly basis with a new nickname.
For reasons unknown to the world, instead of calling me 'Cedric', he called me 'Graham', after the far less annoying main character. Of course, because it was agreed upon in our area that Graham was gay, Dewg altered his name as such.
For a while, I was known as "Pinky Graham, king of Daventry."
Apologies for NOTHING.
