I was born club footed, so one of my legs is skinnier than the other.
The club footed-ness has more or less been completely corrected though.
In elementary, pretty much nobody noticed. A friend of mine noticed once in about 3rd grade, and would say my leg was "retarded" every now and then.
When I switched to a catholic middle school, people noticed and asked "is your leg real?". I told them "nah, it's fake", and that all the hairs and realistic skin were from fake skin coverings my mom had made for the leg.
One day some kid (didn't know about my leg) decided to trip me, and happened to trip me on my left (club footed) leg. I caught myself and didn't fall, but somebody who saw what happened yelled at the kid...
"YOU ****ING ASSHOLE! THAT'S HIS FAKE LEG!"
The kid went, "What, that's bullshit! Shut up ******!"
Eventually a bunch of kids started yelling at him, till I bailed him out and told them that I was just kidding about my leg being fake. I really didn't expect anybody to believe me tbh.
Freshman year in highschool, a friend of mine noticed that something was up with my leg in PE, so i lifted my pants legs and showed him (it's really impossible to tell till you see the knee line, where you can see where the muscle dips off and gets skinny). He saw, and a bunch of people noticed we were doing something, and also got interested. Pretty much blew over though, people just said "you really can't tell till you show people..."
Then Sophomore year, I was chilling with this fat kid and a few other guys, when one of them remembered that something was up with my leg. I showed, and "peg leg" was born. After a week or two, everybody at school is calling me peg leg, and it was starting to piss me off. I didn't mind when it was just my friends, but the entire school ragging on you is really irritating. Hell, half of them prolly didn't even know WHY they called me peg leg.
Anyway, they moved on and came up with some other names, like Peg Legged Pirate, and Frosty the Pirate, till it eventually blew over. Nobody but that small group of people calls me that anymore, and it really doesn't bug me, so long as the jokes aren't too lame.
They'll say some actually funny things like, one time, I was jumping into the pool when my friend dove in and said "I'LL SAVE YOU!"
I looked at him like "wtf?" and he said "Oh, you're ok, good. I didn't want your peg leg to get water logged".
But when every other joke turns into something like "hey, YOU HAVE A PEG LEG" or "don't break your leg!", it gets really irritating.
