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.

Methane ProductionWe had a rather doddery old lady teacher called Mrs. G********* who was given the rather unfortunate epithet "Gas-Bag" as she had a reputation for farting in class.I used to think it was a myth until a friend of mine who was in a different class to me told me she "Did a loud one " as she walked past his desk one lesson.She had a reputation for having a ferocious temper too,( she had one of those scary booming voices) so my friend had to literally bite his lip to stop him laughing out loud (We were only about 11 years old at the time ) I only ever had her once for a lesson, when my own English teacher was away. I remember her reciting the John Masefield poem which begins :- "I must go down to the sea again,to the lonely sea and the sky " It was not a stormy sea though as I recall,it was not accompanied by any thunder claps!
