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.

I was E.T.My PE teacher started calling me that. The film wasn't even released when he started, so I had the whole of the hype period, and the film itself to get that name really stuck in. I'm sure there's some teaching rule about not picking on your pupils... I think I put my hand up with my finger sticking out when he called the register, or maybe he was just a bullying, self-important, balding wanker who wanted to think he was still attractive to under-age girls.
Anyway, I was E.T. for many years after this. I went along with it, 'cause you can't let a stupid thing like that get you down. The cheerful upshot of this was that when I broke my mate's wrist playing British Bulldog [that's fighting with some rules, for the Merkins reading this], he announced to the teacher:
"E.T. tripped me up!" which was met with some derision.
