LMAO!!
I was saddled with that nickname when I first started riding a motorcyle back in 1982. At the time I was 5'9 and weighed a whopping 115 lbs. I attended a meeting of volunteers for a local biker toy run with a buddy of mine. They were looking for someone to dress up as Santa to lead the parade of bikes.
My buddy, being a smart-alec, suggested that since I was the new guy that I should do it. One of the grizzled old veteran bikers stood up, looked me up and down, and proclaimed that I wasn't big enough to play the zipper on the Santa Claus suit! The name stuck.
