13** Spinbel - Asbel, thanks to his [[{{Expy}} many similarities]] to [[Anime/CodeGeass Spinzaku]].
14*** Ass-bel - Used when Asbel seems a bit too dense or insensitive. Not really a nickname per se but is still fairly common.

31*** [[spoiler: Well, first he hands her hot coffee, which she naturally assumes to be hot, then convinces her it's ''iced'' coffee, ''then'' says it's hot coffee again]].
32*** And then Collete drops the mug in shock, and from the way it fell, it may even have been [[spoiler:''empty'']].
33** Yggy - The BigBad, owing largely to the fact that "Yggdrasill" is a lot harder to type out/spell correctly.

40** Ambassador Asshat - Luke, when he gets appointed as an ambassador for Akzeriuth and had his {{Jerkass}}ness dialed up to eleven.
41** Master Badtouch - Van Grants, thanks to the "creepy pedophile" aura that he radiates.

58* ''VideoGame/TeamFortress2'': A whole list of terms created by the player base can be viewed on the official Wiki [[http://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Player_terms here]].
59** The game itself has tons of nicknames, including but not limited to ''Hat Fortress'' and ''Hat Simulator 2''[[note]]Both stemming from a Valve joke that the game is a ''War Themed Hat Simulator''[[/note]]
60** SPAH (always in all caps) - Spy, named for the Engineer's way of pronouncing his name
61** Burce - Sniper, a misspelling of a name stereotypically associated with Australians (thanks to ''Series/MontyPythonsFlyingCircus'')
62** [=B^U=] (pronounced 'b to the u') - Also the Sniper, thanks to his face (huge sunglasses, a pointed nose and a half-open drawling mouth). Developed from the use of the same name to make fun of the webcomic ''Webcomic/CtrlAltDel'', for having [[OnlySixFaces limited facial expressions]].
63** Lawrence - Used by some fans as the Sniper's given name, based on the Lawrence of Australia item set. (His canonical first name was eventually revealed to be Mick.)
64** Engie - Engineer
65** Solly - Soldier
66** Pyro-kun/Pyro-tan - Pyro, due to the possibility that "he" might actually be a "she".
67*** Also W+M1, because ever since the Pyro Update that improved the class's range, some players complain that's all the input the character needs to play.
68*** Aero - Name used in response to patch responding to ''that'' which boosted the airblast but reduced the Flamethrower's direct and burning damage (which was mostly rescinded).
69*** Flyro, a Pyro wearing their beanie hat unlock, or with the Thermal Thrusters equipped.
70*** [[Franchise/SuperMarioBros Hammer Bro]]: a Homewrecker-wielding Pyro. Especially to Engineers.
71*** Pyros with the Homewrecker are also sometimes called Pybros (Pyro + bro) due to their ability to help Engineers defend their nests, especially from Spies. Some also use this nick for Pyros that generally dedicate themselves to helping their team, putting out players, saving medics from rockets, helping their local Engineer, etc.
72*** CHAOS Pyro: A derisive nickname for poor Pyro players who run into a crowd, set fire to a few enemies and then die, thanks to their justification that they're contributing by 'sowing chaos'.
73*** Pyrosharks: Pyros using the Neon Annihilator, which crits wet enemies, to lurk in bodies of water and surprise foes.
74*** Franchise/{{Spyro|The Dragon}} - A Spy who takes on the disguise of a Pyro. Note the {{portmanteau}}.
75** Fatty, Tubby, Fatso - the Heavy
76*** Recently, he has garnered nicknames like HAVY or HEBEE, imitating the spelling of a 6-year-old.
77*** Hoovy and Hooby are also accepted nicknames. However, "Hoovy" is more commonly used for [[ActualPacifist "friendly" Heavies that walk around giving people Sandviches while not even attempting to fight]].
78*** Heavy itself is shorthand for Heavy Weapons Guy, although it's been canon for quite a while.
79*** The nickname Fat Scout is used to describe Heavy players who take on a more Scout-like playstyle by relying more on one of Heavy's secondary shotguns rather than his primary minigun.
80** Scoot - Incredibly lazy nickname for the Scout. It stuck, though, probably because of how much it [[TheNapoleon fits]]. Also based on how Demoman pronounces the name in his thick Scottish accent.
81*** Scout's mom is also often referred to as "Scootma"
82** Scunt - Nickname for Scouts that choose deliberately loud and obnoxious cosmetic items (usually painted lime or pink) and try to be as annoying as possible.
83** Spamoman - A name given to the Demoman due to the amount of grenades and stickies he has and his overall spam-ability. Used by people who generally dislike that class.
84*** Spamobot - The various Demomen robots, other than individual regular Demomen robots, since their sheer number and/or modified weapons let them spam grenades en masse.
85*** Demospam - The actual act of spamming stickies and grenades.
86** Crocket - A critical rocket, pretty much a guaranteed kill on anyone other than a Heavy. Also known as Critrawket.
87*** It may or may not be coincidence that in RealLife there's a missile launcher that firer miniature nukes known as the Davy Crocket.
88*** Also, Heavy-specific achievement given for surviving a hit with a Crocket is called "Crock Block".
89*** Referred to by name in the Soldier achievement "Crockets Are Such BS", for firing two crit rockets in a row without any boosting effects.
90*** Soldier also had [[http://wiki.teamfortress.com/w/images/5/52/Soldier_specialcompleted02.wav this unused line]] for killing people with critical rockets, driving the point home.
91** SKILL! - the...somewhat bitter nickname people have for those sudden, unexpected criticals.
92** Ambassaderp - Both an affectionate and also possibly derisive nickname for The Spy's Ambassador unlockable revolver. Started showing up when more than one critical per second became possible. Cries of "OP!" could be heard for miles.
93** Creditsman/Lucksman - Something about the Sniper's Huntsman bow makes it hit heads [[HitboxDissonance when it plainly shouldn't have]] (or at least according to its detractors,) making it a [[MemeticMutation credit to team]].
94*** Huntspam is also used, since the user may shoot off a volley of arrows until one hits/kills.
95*** It's also known as the Cuntsman to players who ''really'' dislike it.
96** Cumbucket - Medic, in reference to the [[{{Uke}} guaranteed position]] he takes in {{yaoi}} fanworks. (Warning: NSFW)
97** Gabe Newell, head of Creator/ValveSoftware, is known as "Gaben" (pronounced "Gay Ben") due to his pronunciation of his email address in his commentaries (gaben@valvesoftware.com).
98*** He's also known as "Fat." Guess why.
99*** He's apparently caught on to all these jokes, and in the commentary nodes for ''Portal 2'' he actually spells it out verbally.
100** [=RAWKET LAWNCHUR/LAWNCHAIR=]: Another name for critical rockets, derived from its now common association with a GratuitousEnglish phrase from ''VideoGame/MetalSlug''.
101** [[SarcasmMode pro tier]]: For sucky or broken play styles.
102** AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMBASSADOR: A nickname given to a rare glitch that occurred after the Spy and Sniper weapons were introduced, and an update to the backpack system happened shortly thereafter. The glitch involved items overlapping in the backpack, which caused some classes to spawn with incorrect items on certain servers (Scouts with huntsmen, etc). The glitch receives its name from the fact that, if you ended up with the ambassador as an overlapping item, you'd be able to rapid fire bullets at a rate faster than the heavy's minigun with it equipped. As engineer.
103** Demoknight: A name given to Demomen who use the Targe and sword/axe combo. May be be used pejoratively by those who think such players are not playing the character right. In general, refers to the Demoman as a melee fighter.
104*** Charging Tard is also used.
105*** Now actually referred by name in the set One Thousand and One Demoknights
106** Turtlefort: 2fort for the enforced stalemate
107** Trade Fortress, Hat Fortress: the fact that it went from a team-oriented multiplayer game to, quote: "War-themed Hat Simulator" does not help.
108** AIDS: The VideoGame/TeamFortressClassic Medic's virus attack, now also used in the sequel to refer to the bleed effect from the Sniper's Tribleman Shiv and the Engineer's Southern Hospitality.
109** God Mode: A nickname for gunslinger engies, originating with [[http://www.toptiertactics.com/2010/09/gunslinger-god-mode/ this person.]]
110** Tunnel Vision: The "condition" of an inexperienced Sniper focusing exclusively on what's in his rifle's scope, leaving him as primo Spy bait. Not exactly exclusive to [=TF2=] but used most frequently there.
111** Direct Shit/Direct Miss: The Direct Hit, a weapon that's become rather despise by some people for how difficult the smaller radius of SplashDamage makes it to use.
112** Dr. Enforcicle: A Spy using the Dead Ringer watch, the Enforcer, and the Spycicle. Often said to be the one of the most overpowered weapon combinations, due to the Enforcer giving a damage boost for a downside that does not effect the Dead Ringer at all, as well as the fire-immunity the Spycicle temporarily gives (the Pyro is otherwise the Spy's biggest weakness and fire was one of the only three ways to track a Spy activating the Dead Ringer, the other two being single unlockables that can only be used once every twenty seconds).
113** Tommy Gruvich: A Heavy using the Tomislav minigun, the GRU (Gloves of Running Urgently) and the Sandvich. This combination is also generally thought to be overpowered, as it eliminates many of the Heavy's weaknesses. The Tomislav is a weaker, but much quieter and faster-starting minigun, so many players use it to ambush enemies, the GRU gives the Heavy (slowest class in the game) more running speed in exchange for health, and the Sandvich heals him. A Heavy can drop Sandviches for allies to pick up and heal themselves with, but most just dropped the Sandvich for themselves for an instant heal (which is why later was patched out, and it instead just gives the Sandvich back).
114** Stock Vich GRU is healthy for you: the "meta" of many Heavy mains, this loadout is like the above, only far more reliable. The name came from the [=YouTuber=] "Fawfuls Minion".
115** Trolldier: A Soldier using the Rocket Jumper (Does no damage to you or others, meant for training RocketJumping), Mantreads (reduced knockback from damaging sources and a GoombaStomp), and Market Gardener (like the shovel but gets guaranteed crits while in midair from a rocket jump). This combination completely changes Soldier's gameplay to a mobile hit-and-run terror who jumps up out of nowhere, kills you with a crit, and then books it before he can be retaliated against. While the Trolldier build sacrifices most of the Soldier's consistent damage and is [[DifficultButAwesome difficult to pull off]], it's great for playing mind games with your opponent, hence the name.
116** Flare-Punching: Common Pyro strategy where the Pyro shoots a flare at an enemy (which sets the enemy on fire, but does a paltry 30 damage), and then shoots another flare at the same enemy (which does a much more impressive 90 damage).
117** Tobor(s): The Mann Vs. Machine MechaMooks, named after a scrapped texture that was subject to much WildMassGuessing and further [[TeasingCreator teasing from Valve in this regard]].
118** Giant Octo-[[HelloInsertNameHere (class)]]: the giant robots being healed/übered by many Medics. Comes from [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1EFYzVvn3zc this popular fan video]] of nine players with a sense of humor and too much time on their hands.
119** Revengineer: An Engineer that uses the Combat Mini-Sentry (which fast to build and costs only 100 metal) and the Frontier Justice (which gives a guaranteed [[CriticalHit revenge crit]] for every kill your sentry scored, once it's destroyed).
120** [[Franchise/SuperMarioBros Mario]]'s Boots: The Mantreads, due to the GoombaStomp ability.
121** [[VideoGame/Left4Dead2 Left 4tress2/Team 4tress2]]: The 2012 Halloween event, which had a [[NintendoHard rather difficult mission]] in Mann vs Machine with zombies.
122** [[DeathOfAThousandCuts Butterknifing]]: Can either mean stabbing someone with the Spy's knife without backstabbing him, or killing him by repeatedly stabbing him this way. Named so because of [[CherryTapping the knife's low damage when not backstabbing]].
123** Speed Hack: the Babyface's Blaster, that can make the [[FragileSpeedster already fast Scout]] insanely fast.
124** Trickstabs: For when spies pull more tricksy maneuvers in order to drive their knives into enemies' backs:
125*** Stairstab: Leading an enemy to chase you upstairs, then jumping backwards over them and stabbing them.
126*** Cornerstab: Doing the same with corners, with the expectation that the enemy will turn the corner as tight as they can, so you make a wide berth around them and stab them before they realize you came back.
127*** Sidestab: Hitting an enemy on their side ''just'' close enough to their back that it still counts as a OneHitKill.
128*** Facestab: ''Much'' more derogatory term for when players get unfairly backstabbed while facing towards the spy, usually due to lag compensation.
129** Brass Sentry: The Brass Beast minigun, since it slows Heavy to the point that he might as well be a stationary Sentry Gun while firing.
130** Chain Uber/Uber Chain: Two Medics using the default Medigun and Ubersaw, which allows them to keep ubercharging towards enemies and refilling their ubers quickly with the saws.
131** Piss Rifle: The Sydney Sleeper, which allows Snipers to bodyshot people more effectively and coat them in Jarate in exchange for headshot capability. Sometimes derogatory, since people claim it's a noob weapon for people who can't hit heads in the first place.
132** Pocket Medic: A Medic that only ever heals one teammate, no matter how badly everybody else needs it. The term became so popular, [[http://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Pocket_Medic a cosmetic item]] even came out named after it.
133** The Mini-Sentry is often called Mini-Cancer.
134** Spycrab: An animation oversight caused when a crouching Spy holds a Disguise Kit straight up, and then walks to any direction. This causes the Spy to walk in a crab-like fashion. Like the Pocket Medic example, [[https://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Spycrab a cosmetic item]] came out named after it.
135** Spychecking: The act of shooting places a spy ''might'' be (dark corners, near a sentry nest, in disguise as a teammate...) to expose them.
136* ''VideoGame/{{Tekken}}''
137** DJ - Devil Jin
138** Bob - Hwoarang, where "Bob" stands for "Boy on Bike", due to people's difficulty spelling Hwoarang's name. Things changed when a character '''named''' Bob was included in the ''Tekken 6'' roster. Nowadays, the "Bob" that is Hwoarang's FanNickname must be spelled with all caps, ''BOB''.
139*** In Poland, Hwoarang is often called "Hawranek", after a character from local animated series "Maurycy i Hawranek".
140** EWGF - short for Electric Wind God Fist, an improved juggle standing uppercut that leaves trails of lightning (even when it doesn't hit). Owned by the Mishima Karate users (Kazuya, Heihachi, and Devil Jin). Normal Jin also has it, but since it's not an uppercut, it's called EWHF (Electric Wind Hook Fist). Note that this move doesn't appear in the command list (only the normal Wind God Fist is listed); therefore, fans came up with "EWGF" to differentiate the two.
141** Mystic Man Bentley/MMB - abbreviated honorific nickname for Heihachi Mishima, short for "Mystic Manly Heihachi [=MuthaF**kin'=] Mishima Bentley Jr."
142** Robo-hime: Alisa Boskonovitch, for having [[Manga/{{Bleach}} Inoue Orihime's]] [[Creator/YukiMatsuoka Japanese voice actress]] and being practically her "[[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} future self]]"... being a RobotGirl.
143** [[spoiler:Junknown]]: In ''[[DreamMatchGame Tekken Tag Tournament 2]]'', the FinalBoss ([[spoiler:Jun Kazama]]) [[spoiler:[[OneWingedAngel transforms into]] Unknown from the original ''[=TTT=]'' upon losing a round, [[IKnewIt confirming the years-long speculation]] from the time of ''Tag'' that Unknown was a [[DemonicPossession demon-possessed]] Jun Kazama in the first place.]]
144** Creator/SethGreen: Ogre in ''VideoGame/StreetFighterXTekken'', as his model is just Seth's from ''VideoGame/StreetFighterIV'' with a green palette swap and some accessories.
145* ''VideoGame/{{Temtem}}'':
146** Due to being {{exp|y}}ies of the [[Franchise/{{Pokemon}} Eeveelutions]], Tuwai and its evolutions are collectively referred to as the Tuwailutions or Tulutions.
147** The single-stage Tems with low catch rates and a 5% encounter rate in one area -- Rhoulder, Ocerara, Innki, Shuine, Kinu, Gharunder, and Yowlar -- are collectively referred to as [=5%ers=].
148** Some techniques are referred to with shortened names in competitive circles. For example, Energy Manipulation is shortened to Emanip.
149* ''VideoGame/TetrisTheGrandMaster 3'':
150** "Fanta Grape" as a synonym for [=TGM3=].
151** "Kevholding", a term for the use of the Hold feature to stall the game, named after one particular abuser of the technique.
152* ''VisualNovel/TokimekiMemorial''
153** Koala Girl - Miharu
154** Slow-mo Girl - Yukari
155** [[AnimeHair Conchita]] - Ayako
156** [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laure_Manaudou Laure Manaudou]] - Nozomi
157* ''VideoGame/ToontownCorporateClash'':
158** Mouthpiece is affectionately known as "Grandma" because her battle gimmicks involve [[GrannyClassic knitting and baking cookies]].
159** Treekiller is jokingly called "Franchise/{{Shrek}}" or "VideoGame/{{Wario}}".
160* ''Franchise/TouhouProject'':
161** "Touhous" or "The Touhous" plural, referring to the cast of the game.
162** China - Hong Meiling. When she first made her debut in ''The Embodiment of Scarlet Devil'', people weren't sure whether to read her name as Hong Meiling (the Chinese reading) or Kurenai Misuzu (the Japanese reading). Compromises were reached. ZUN later confirmed that it was Hong Meiling, but [[AscendedMeme even he himself admits to calling her China]].
163*** Sometimes called Girl Scout, by those who see a resemblance between the old green Girl Scout uniforms and China/Meiling's outfit.
164** Zombie Reimu - Reimu Hakurei in ''Mountain of Faith''. The in-game art depicts her with a peculiarly jaundiced skintone for no apparent reason, leading to the obvious conclusion that she is actually an undead zombie.
165*** Sometimes she is "Raymoo".
166** The Drunk One - Suika Ibuki
167*** Also used to refer to ZUN, who according to fans is, like Suika, ''never sober''.
168** Peaches - Tenshi Hinanai, named for the peaches on her hat.
169*** Also Rocky, because she fights with stones.
170*** "Tenko" is another way of reading the kanji in her name, and is a popular nickname for her in both Western and Eastern fandom.
171** PAD-Chou ("Chief PAD") - Sakuya Izayoi, under suspicion of padding, er, a couple of her assets. Derived from the discrepancy between the depiction of said assets in ''Immaterial and Missing Power'' and the other games. She's also sometimes referred to as Sakuya Brando for her rampant ([[ShoutOut intentional]]) similarities with [[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure Dio Brando]].
172*** [[NinjaMaid Knife Maid]] - Sakuya is the maid of the Scarlet Mansion, and fights by throwing knives and manipulating time.
173** Patchy - Patchouli Knowledge
174*** Mukyuu-chan - Patchy again, due to her fan-created CatchPhrase.
175*** Purple Bean Sprout - Used mostly by Japanese fans, though.
176** Remi - Remilia Scarlet. Sometimes used by Patchouli, suggesting some level of intimacy.
177** Flan or Flan-chan - obviously, Flandre Scarlet, that [[CheerfulChild lovable]] living PersonOfMassDestruction.
178** Due to her partner Unzan's tendency to behave in a Stand-like fashion and launch fist-shaped danmaku, Ichirin has earned the nickname of [[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure Ichirin Kujo]].
179*** Unzan's Hitbox - a less flattering nickname that Ichirin earned when ZUN admitted that this is what she actually is.
180*** [[RocketPunch BRO]][[PowerFist FIST]] - The giant fist danmaku used by Unzan.
181** ⑨, or Nine-ball - Cirno. Her meteoric rise to fame began with a game screenshot in the manual of ''Phantasmagoria of Flower View'', in which her in-game sprite was labelled "⑨: Baka".
182*** "[[SmallNameBigEgo The Strongest!]]" - another name for Cirno, based on her ''terribly'' inaccurate assessment of her level of power. [[note]]Ironically despite being a weak miniboss, fairies are considered {{Mook}}s so just being a miniboss is an impressive feat for a fairy. So in a sense she might not be THE strongest character in the entire series but she IS the Strongest Fairy.[[/note]] Used either endearingly or mockingly depending on the individual. Someone then decided to take both this and the former nickname to a whole new level, by adding a {{composite|Character}} of Cirno and ''VideoGame/ArmoredCore''[='s=] infamous [[FinalBoss Nine]][[SNKBoss ball]] as a playable character in the VideoGame/{{Mugen}} fighting game.
183*** Sirkku - Cirno's nickname in Finland, partly because it's an actual and common Finnish name, partly because Finnish people can't pronounce "Cirno" or "Chiruno".
184** ⑥, or Six-ball - Reiuji Utsuho, in honor of her ditzy naivete, [[PowerOfTheSun heat-based]], rather than ice-based powers, genuinely being [[PersonOfMassDestruction one of the strongest characters]], and being called a birdbrain by her friend Orin in the ''Subterranean Animism'' Extra Stage introduction.
185*** Other nicknames include Chernobyl-tan and Nuke-tan (for her nuclear fusion powers), [[Franchise/FinalFantasy Bahamuko]] (for her Mega Flare spellcard), and [[Franchise/{{Metroid}} Samus]] Unyu (the control rod she wears on her left arm is often depicted as an ArmCannon, and "Unyu?" in her fanmade CatchPhrase[=/=]VerbalTic).
186** Ultimate Sadistic Creature, often abbreviated as U.S.C. - Yuuka Kazami, derived from a combination of her "[[TheGadfly jokes]]" about turning the playable character into "a mist of atoms ♥" and only considering genocide to be another game, responding with SureLetsGoWithThat when accused of being the instigator of an Incident (even though she was innocent) seemingly for no other reason than that [[BloodKnight she wanted to do so,]] the above mentioned Cirno herself realizing that [[DumbassHasAPoint fighting Yuuka is a horrifically bad idea,]] and also the fact hat her official character profile gives her a Threat Level of "[[PersonOfMassDestruction Extremely High]]" and a Human Friendship Level of "[[ReadingsAreOffTheScale Worst]]."
187*** Youkai Moe - a second nickname for Yuuka which originates from her bizarre character profile in the manual for ''Kioh Gyouku'', a game for which ZUN composed the music and in which Yuuka is a playable character.
188*** More recently applied to Kogasa as well, due to a massive number of {{Moe}} characteristics she has.
189** John Travolta - Iku Nagae, who takes a pose recalling ''Film/SaturdayNightFever'' when summoning lightning.
190** "Bucket Ranka" - Kisume, who looks like ''[[Anime/MacrossFrontier Macross]]'''s Ranka.
191*** Kisume actually more closely resembles Mikaze Honjou from ''Anime/{{Stratos 4}}'', but that show's not as famous. But now you know.
192** [[MessianicArchetype Youkai Jesus]] - Byakuren, the buddhist monk who preached for peace between human and youkai, was sealed for a thousand years for her efforts and attracted the respect of a great number of youkai. Also known as the Youchrist.
193** CAPTAIN MINAMITSU MURASA - Minamitsu achieved MemeticBadass status following her theme music (''Captain Murasa''), and can now only be respectfully addressed as this.
194*** Now, now. You got it wrong. It's CAPTAIN MINAMITSU MOTHERFUCKING MURASA, silly.
195** U.F. Owen - Nue's theme, ''Heian Alien'', is reminiscent of ''U.N. Owen was Her?'', the [[MemeticMutation very popular]] theme song of Flandre Scarlet.
