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.

My girlfriend was named after my fridge
Conversation in pub one lunchtime:
Workmate 1: "Do anything good at the weekend?"
Me: "Yeah, I met a girl on Saturday night at this club. Oh yeah, and I bought a new fridge. Bosch."
Workmate 2: "Bosch? Is she German?"
So that's what she was known as (apart from by my mates who called her "Sourpuss" apparently, not without good reason...)
Some other ones from school/uni:
"Parsley" - as he looked like Parsley the Lion
"Melon" - he had a head shaped like a melon (well, kind of)
"Richard Fuck" - every other word he uttered was an expletive. Not Tourettes, just foul mouthed.
"Bullshit Bill" - a compulsive liar of the highest order. Pretty much anything he said was a whopping lie.
