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.

My sister is "Lala" because when I was little I couldn't say Nicola. She still gets called this by my Mum, despite me growing out of the habit around 20 years ago.
A friend was "Heat Seeking Missle" all through 6th Form because of her indiscriminate approach to picking sexual partners, and boy some of the guys she picked up were rougher than f**k.
Finally, at Uni we had the wonderfully unimaginative name of "Bighead" for an Algerian student in our Halls who had a very odd shaped (almost a cube, it had corners) very large head.
