History Main / FanNickname

* DieAnstalt: Lyall for [[spoiler:the wolf inside Dolly. For MeaningfulName bonus points, it means "shield wolf".]]

** Current president Enrique Peña Nieto has LOTS of fan nicknames due of the tremendous hatedom he have: "Das Pena, Nieto" ''(Translated as "You Disappoint Me, My Nephew")'' plus others.

Sometimes fan communities give nicknames to entire groups of characters, if the series doesn't already give a name. {{Anime}} fans often use [Main Character]-''tachi'', or "the group associated with [Main Character]". Another option is -''gumi'', meaning [Main Character]'s (metaphorical) troop. [[GratuitousJapanese These can also be applied in jest to Western fandoms]]: [[Literature/HarryPotter Harry]]-tachi, [[TheLordOfTheRings Frodo]]-gumi, etcetera.

** Kibble: Parts of the alternate mode that protrude noticeably from the robot mode. Toys with excessive amounts of kibble are often referred to as "shellformers" (in that their alternate mode is basically a kibble "shell" that wraps around the robot inside).

* Bitz Box: A box of all the excess arms, guns and other add-ons that come with Games Workshop models, and are saved for later customisations. Also called the "parts box".

** Thunder Bay - Lakehead, TBay, The Bay, West Finland.

*** Also "Governor [[HeManAndTheMastersOfTheUniverse Skeletor]]

** How has Brobama not been mentioned yet?

** Sir John A MacDonald = "Old Tomorrow"

** [[GrammarNazi Shouldn't it be Der Governator?]] It's arguable. The robot Terminator was definitely an "it".
*** Yes, that's even his nickname in German news shows.
*** And specifically, the German terms for Governor (and the linguistically-borrowed term for Robot) are masculine nouns - so if it weren't sufficient that he has, you know, a Y chromosome, it would still be more accurate to use 'der' than 'das.'
*** "Das" sounds more German than "Der" to [[ViewersAreMorons non-German speakers]], unfortunately combining GratuitousGerman with RuleOfFunny.

* The king of Sweden is dyslexic, earning him the nickname "knugen" among the Swedes. "Knugen" being a jumbled up version of "kungen", which means "the king". (On occassion, he has also been referred to as "the knig" by Swedes talking about him in English)

** Since his recent lovechild scandal(and in reference to some of his more [[MagnificentBastard magnificently bastardish]] exploits) he's been referred to as [[Series/TheSopranos Arnold/Tony Sopranonegger]].

** Wouldn't a Roman numeral after be more simply?
*** Nope. He delivered his speeches like a hurried translator doing the dub for an anime. Then the Quail in the hand (#2 in the Bush camp), one J. Danford Quayle, took it to ''"Zerowing"'' levels...
** [[GeorgeWBush George Walker Bush]] (son) is a different name from [[GeorgeHWBush George Herbert Walker Bush]] (father), so junior or II would not be appropriate. They are sometimes distinguished as "Bush 41" and "Bush 43", derived from their order as US Presidents.

* In the ''{{Series/Supernatural}}'' fandom, MishaCollins is sometimes referred to as [=MishMish=] or "The Overlord". He encourages the latter.

*** And, in a very derogative way, it's sometimes nicknamed ''La Tierra de la Gente... Buena Para Nada'' (The Land of the Good... For-Nothing People) because of the perceived lazyness of their people there.

** Mexico City: ''La Ciudad de la Esperanza'' (The City of Hope) and outside the city (and inside too) it's nicknamed ''Chilangolandia'' (Chilangoland, since the people from Mexico City are nicknamed ''Chilangos'' in a peyorative way.)
