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.

Beware your first words at 'Big' school...There was a guy from my primary school who went on to a Catholic secondary with me that was about 30 miles away from where we both lived.
On the first day we were obviously nervous about meeting all these other kids. The teacher broke the ice by asking us where we all went on holiday over the summer. He said 'Wales' and is still known as Taffy to this day, 17 years later.
Asked how he got the nickname now he says it's because he's descended from a noble line of Welsh Kings. 5 years ago, he said it was because he was Tom Jones' ilegitimate son. If anyone meets a 'Taffy' from Yorkshire, you know the truth!
