Probably most of us have fallen victim to awful nicknames. However, luckily for many of us, those were soon forgotten or simply never "clicked" or became a name we got addressed by more than once. Yet, just like some people get referred to by their Instagram handles, some folks get addressed by their nicknames. However, not all nicknames are as cool as The Rock's. In fact, most are embarrassing, stupid, and demeaning, even.
We must thank a couple of threads on the AskReddit community, which became our source for some of the worst nicknames ever. The original poster of one of these threads asked, "What's the worst nickname you've ever heard someone allow themselves to be called?" while the other thread invited the Reddit users to share, "What is the strangest nickname someone you know has, and how did they get it?" And it goes without saying that both threads did not disappoint with the amount of bad nicknames, in fact, horrible nicknames users had to share. And well, we simply just had to gather the best of the worst (or worst of the worst?)
Below, we've compiled some of the worst nicknames given to people, as shared by others online. Have you ever given your friends terrible nicknames? If yes, well, go apologize! Or perhaps you were the one who was given silly nicknames? What was it? Let us know in the comments!

"I knew a Mexican kid in high school who was a wanna be gang banger and like 5'2"
We called him "Paragraph" because he was too short to be an esé."
#3
"I was friends with a guy at uni who was 6'6", extraordinarily slender with ginger curly hair and was allergic to everything. Seriously, he as one sneezing fit away from being locked in a bubble. His struggles to make his hair look cooler were seriously impeded by his allergies (couldn't dye it, couldn't straighten it), so he just left it.
So, the funny thing with him was that he was a goth. That in itself isn't funny, but what was was the sight of a massive, lean porcelain skinned guy lurching around campus dressed from throat to foot in black with bright orange hair.
We called him Duracell."

"I have a friend who is half Mexican and half German. We call him beaner-schnitzel."

"Everest. I know a dude who was always complaining about Indian people. So I started calling him Everest because he is always throwing shade on India."
#9
"At work there's a Skeeter, because a guy didn't know his name and shouted "SKEETER" and the guy turned around so that stuck.
We also have Sorta Pants, because he wears pants that are so ripped that they barely qualify as pants."

"There was a guy at my dad's work that went by the name "poopy" the story was that after lunch on his first day he said "I have to go poop" this was in a maintenance shop, so everyone has a sailor mouth. He resisted at first, but in the end of his 30 years there even bosses called him poopy. I know most of the guys my dad worked with and I never learned Poopy McCalister's real first name."

"There was a guy I met who lost his ear in an accident. They call him teacup."
#13
"I had a pretty tight knit group in one of my high school classes. In one of our conversations, it was brought up how horrible I was at the time with remembering names. One of the guys, who happened to be Hispanic, said to me "Bro, I know you know my name. Come on man, what's my name?" I honestly didn't know and so I popped out the first name that came to mind. "I don't know dude, Carlos?"
Everyone, including Carlos started laughing. For some reason, it just stuck. No one called him by his first name, even the teachers. From that point onward, he was Carlos.
To satisfy the curious, his name was Andrew."

"There's a guy I know whose last name is Lopian. When he originally met my friends, one of them said "your name is Lopian? Haha like fallopian tubes?" and Lope said "yea".
So, we started calling him Fallopian Tubes... then, just Fallopian, then Phil Lopian, and just "Phil".
Confused the f*ck out of his parents when they visited in college, and because we all just called him "Phil" by default, whenever we'd meet new people, they had no idea his name wasn't "Phil", because "Phil" is an, otherwise, normal name."

A similar pipeline led to one of my uncle's friends getting a nickname which means "salmon" in my language.

"I had a friend, we'll call him Matt, and he was an established member of a student organization. Another Matt joined this organization, and Matt 1 said "Look, we've already got a Matt, but I'll tell you what. You get to pick your nickname. Anything you want!"
But Matt 2 really liked his name, and refused to pick a nickname. Matt 1 insisted, "If you don't pick your own nickname, I am going to pick one for you, and you are not going to like it."
Convinced that his real name would stick, Matt 2 again refused.
He could have picked something bad*ss, like Flash, or the Destroyer. But instead, Matt 2 was called "Ham-bone" for the next 4 years."

"I went to university with a guy nicknamed "stink". The story goes that he got the nickname in his home town as a child because he was the stinky kid. When he arrived at university did he take the opportunity to reinvent himself? Negative... introduces himself as "Stink" and it's still his nickname today."

"There's a rather flamboyantly gay man at my company that everyone adores. He's also rather tall. A couple years back, he and a few other got together and made a dodgeball team - pretty unusual in England. Anyway, this guy was really good and helped carry his team through competitions - it was said that years of yoga and gymnastics had made him so flexible he could contort in almost bullet-time fashion to avoid being hit.
And that is the sole reason he is fondly known as The Big Bender."

"My greek boss at the pizza place I worked at in high school would call me "Rorito, my little latin lover." I'm not latin, nor was I his lover, but that crazy perverse bastard did teach me not to get offended by anything this world throws at me."

"Guy in high schools nick name was sloth. I guess he was kind of big and dumb and vaguely resembled sloth from the goonies. It wouldn't be such a bad nickname if he hadn't gone out and gotten sloth tattooed in enormous negative space on his forearm. Sloth, if your out there, that tattoo is just terrible."
#30
"There was a kid I was in highschool drumline with who's last name was Goocher. Naturally we started calling him gooch when he came in as a freshman not expecting him to allow it at all but it never really seemed to phase him. Even teachers would call him this. The worst is that his parents even got matching school hoodies to wear to games and festivals where the band performed with "Mama Gooch" and "Papa Gooch" printed on their respective backs."
#31
"There was a guy in college that was named Greg. But he insisted people call him Hoss. To the point that he'd be angry if you called him by his real name. Something about his grandpa was called Hoss and he wanted to take his nickname. Also this guy wore a fedora every day.
We always asked if he drank Bailey's and would call him Old Greg to piss him off."

#34
"On my first day on middle school (age 11), I met this really tall guy who looked a lot older than everyone else. Everyone was calling him "Boner," and I thought that was such a bad*ss nickname, I called him that for the rest of the year.
I didn't know what a boner was until 7th grade. I later found out that everyone was making fun of him on the first day because he had one, and I cringe every time I think about it. I'm so sorry, Boner..."
#35
"We call my friends neighbour "Cupcake". He's a 20-year-old dude (a few years younger than us) and when we were all in middle school my friend's dad who is Indian and barely speaks English, came outside and walked up to him and said, "my sweet little cupcake." It's stuck with him ever since."

"Nomark because he got no grades in high school."
#37
"I was "Chirp" for a couple years.
Someone refers to me as "Airman Clark" in my Korean Lanugage class at the Defense Language Institute, and a female sailor (who was seated across the small classroom from me, 6 hours a day for the previous 4 months; who apparently overlooked the big nametag on my uniform that entire time) got confused. Apparently, every time she heard my last name, it was from the native instructor with a thick Korean accent, and she thought they were addressing me as "Cluck", which somehow became "Chirp" while we were all cracking up at how she could have missed it."
#38
"We had a guy in the army we called Jacket. This was because of the blanket incident that happened in basic. One night, when the lights got turned off in our bay of 100 recruits, we heard a sound most strange coming from the back of the bay. Sounded like someone was slapping a naked cat, but the cat was happy about it. So that was weird. We went to go see what was going on and we see Jacket has his earplugs in, furiously jacking away. He opens his eyes, takes out his ear-plugs and sees us all laughing our as*es off. Because he was the one to Jack it, we started to call him Jacket."

A good friend of mine from college - got initiated as a freshman, ended up sh*tting on a radiator. Never lived it down and literally everyone in our entire residence called him this (affectionately). He already had the nickname when I got there - and as an upperclassmen that looked older than he was - became "uncle" as well.
And there were 4 or 5 variants too - Uncle Poop, Uncle Dump, Sh*tty Uncle, etc.
I even have him in my phone as "Sh*t Poop" and I've been out of school for 3 years."

My dad's nickname from his dad and his friends was Peter Bean because he looked like a skinny little string bean. Once, he got lost as a small boy and, since this was the '70s, had to go find a security guard to call his name out on a megaphone. The guard asked him his name, and he said "Peter Bean". After stifling a chuckle, the guard announced on the loudspeaker (and my eighty-three-year-old grandfather still recalls it like it was yesterday) "Would the parents of Peter Bean please come to the front?" The parents of Peter ℍ𝕖𝕤𝕤𝕝𝕖𝕣 arrived to pick up their Bean, needless to say, but not without some teasing.

A kid in my school is called Chintu (which means tiny in Hindi) by the eighth and ninth graders because that was the name of his character in a school play. A guy in my class has the nickname “Google Anna” which translates to Google brother as that was his character in the play. Another guy is simply called “Google” because he has the answer to everything and I’m called “Wikipedia”

Oh and my family has been huge with nicknames. It was so extreme that I didn't find out until my 20's that some of my relatives names where not what I had been calling them. Samantha was actually Katherine, Pat is Margaret, Malcom is George, Ralph is Thomas. Of course there were obvious nicknames like Rerun and Stringbeen but all those years I was just clueless. Nearly everyone in my family had a nickname and was referred to mostly by it. My aunt is 80 now and still called Samantha; atleast 60 years being called that because her brother thought she looked like a witch (Bewitched)

In high-school we dubbed one kid Louie because we thought he looked like Louie Anderson. That name stuck all through high-school and after. Everyone including his parents called him Louie. Several years after graduating I saw him at a shop and he was still going by Louie; his coworker was with him and shouted Louie to get his attention. I hope he still goes by Louie and it's been about 20 years. Think his real name was Andrew or Patrick.
