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.

Mmm ThroatyA-Level Biology with Mr. Powell: Unfortunately the man had a rather prominent adam's apple and a nervous disposition which i guess made it bob about somewhat. Resulted in the 'hilarious' nicknames of 'Throaty Powell' and [more amusingly] 'Whooped up a bollock' as it appeared that somehow he'd had a large coughing fit and just hacked one of the fellows up there...still there to this day I hear. Also said please and thankyou after most sentences 'can you open your books please thankyou' etc which on top of the fact that we didn't respect him at all meant that every lesson was a joyous occasion spent counting how many times he said please and how many times the bollock appeared to be making a break for it out of his mouth. It's suprising how I managed to actually get a C out of it to be honest.
And he was a shit teacher. Yeah...
