Amusing nicknames

At work today I had to chuckle at a couple of nicknames I'd never heard before which got me thinking of some of the more entertaining ones some indiviaduals are 'christened' with.

Todays gems were

'Leatherman' - given to a guy because he's a useless tool that everyone carries.

'Figjam' - F*_+ I'm Good, Just Ask Me.

Some older ones

'Gimlet' - small boring tool

'Taps' - given to a navigator that thought it referred to the RAF Terminal Approach Plates (TAPS) but was actually because he was as Thick As Pig S4i+.

'ILS' - given to bloke who thought it was becasue he was good on instruments but actually he was just an Irritating Little S4i+.

What nicknames have you heard that make you chuckle?
