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.

smurfin my first year at university there was one guy who always managed to be late, even moving from one room to another. As I did a biochemistry degree we did all sorts of funny experiments- one of them involved staining bacteria so you could identify the type. During the safety lecture at the beginning we were all informed to use gloves at all times as one of the stains (gramm stain) binds irreversably to eukaryotic cells (which includes humans). there is nothing you can to remove it other than wait for weeks while the skin cells slowly wear off.
Suffice it to say that my friend comes in after the speech and starts to throw this stuff around with a wild abandon getting it all over his hands. to top it all off when he was told about the stain he looked suitably shocked and did a very good impression of edouard munch's 'the scream' like this!
three weeks of having to walk around campus with blue cheeks and smurf was born!
