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.

Work nicknamesMy brother has always had tales of work colleagues with nicknames.
1. Some guy who was a bit of an "uphill gardener" was known as makeup man.
2. Another guy who had the annoying habit of hawking up great oysters (phlegm) and then swallowing them, got the nickname "cod" (fish eat oysters right?). As a consequence of this, if he was assigned a fitters mate they would always be called "chips".
3. Another bloke, an electrician, very very very fat, had on one occasion to work in an inspection pit. Being fat, he completely filled the hole in the top and was henceforth named "plug".
that is all.
