Up until I had a successful operation when I was 7, I used to wear glasses as my eyes were crossed. All the kids in my school called me four eyes which upset me deeply but I am glad to say that I did get over it and there are no emotional scars to show! My dad used to call me Smelly but he was the only to get away with it. He called my brothers Swilly (as in a swill bin) and Fatty so maybe I was the lucky one! The mylot nickname I have came from eating lots of blackcurrant and licorice humbugs when I was younger but no one ever called me this and I chose the nickname mysef.
So what was the worst nickname anyone ever called you at school? Do you have a really cool nickname now? What is the worst or best nickname you have ever heard or given someone else?

I don't think I ever had a "worst" nickname per se, but my name starts with a J and my family calls me "J-Man" and "J-Bob" - I don't know where Bob comes into play here, but whatever.
I personally like the Smelly and Swilly names, but that's just me.

this wasn't in school but olive oil because i was so skinny, and they called me hairy, not because i was hairy but the hair on my arms used to be so dark it made them look hairy. that's all i guess. i've been called other names but those were the worst.
