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.

just a fewBeing quite a fatty, my close friends at infant school amusingly called me Jumbo. Which was nice (not). Since then, we have got more immature, making up long names for short names eg Lee became Leemontrude. My name is Dennis or Den so I became Denjymus, which was eventually shortened again to Denjy.
Conversely to my portly stature, my wife is stick thin and has picked up several nicknames such as "Olive Oil" (popeye's bird). But my favourite was when my brother named her "Joe the Bone" as she had no meat on her. This has stuck and she is now called Bone by many people. She's not best pleased. wimmin eh!
