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.

Almost Dead Craig...
A friend of my ex tried to commit suicide by cutting his throat. I guess he changed his mind and got help or someone found him before he died - or something. Anyway, he's got a huge nasty scar running from ear to ear *shudder* and behind his back everyone calls him Almost Dead Craig.
Another one - I went to grade school with a guy named Dylan Dando. It didn't take long to come up with the obvious nickname he'd be saddled with the rest of his life. What made this funny to me was that in 9th grade I moved to a much smaller rural high school about two hours away from where I had been. Fast forward a couple of years to the first day of 11th grade...any new kids were big news to begin with, but imagine my surprise when barely 5 minutes into the new school year a friend asks me if I've met the new guy - Dildo. Poor Dylan. Although, I suspect he was rather proud of that nickname. Wouldn't be surprised if he had actually introduced himself that way.
Long time lurker and all that...
