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.

A few classics...
A the start of sixth form, our school used to get a large intake from other local schools that didn't have sixth forms. So we already had a close knit group of friends but allowed this lad Andy W to join our little clique. But we did this only if we could call him Dave. Why? Because we didn't have a Dave in our group and we felt we needed one. I called him Dave for two whole years and it's just taken me 15 minutes to remember his proper name.
One of my mates went to uni with this lad who proudly possesed a fair sized penis. It had a lot of girth but little length. His nickname - John West.
After scanning the many previous posts, there are a number of references to those who are unfortunate enough to permenantly look ill as AIDS Victims. The Figurative Pinapple's Johnny AIDS being a particular favourite. Hilarious as I find this, my brother has moved on to refering to his best mate as Cancer Victim or Chemo. I feel this is the direction of this type of banter for the future.
