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.

Gimli, Miguel and Heffalump.
Ive had 3 nicknames that have ever stuck from varying periods of my life.
Hefalump; from when I was an army cadet of the big boned vareity. The fact that all the other cadets were malnurished chavs didnt help.
Miguel; I got a tan once and had a really cheesy Ricky Martin esq shirt with tasteless spanish pattern stitching on the front, leading a mate to call me 'Miguel the spanish waiter' shortend to Miguel. This became universal and still rears its ugly head occasionaly.
Finaly Gimli; Seeing as im short (for an American footballer 5'11) and have a beard. Its got to the stage now that if someone says 'Tom' at uni i wont bother responding.
Could be worse I could be 'Captain Ahab'. See what happens when you get drunk a sleep with an obease lady.
