Rack Bauer - Renee Walker, who turned into Jack with boobs as the season went on.

Candyman - Benjamin Juma, for Tony Todd's role in the movie of the same name.
Dubaku Device - The CIP device.
Lasagna Lover - Ike Dubaku, the subplot with Dubaku's girlfriend also spawned fake Sitcom ideas about Dubaku. I don't remember all of the details but it is mentioned here.

Mac vs PC - the scene where Chloe [using a Mac] and Janis [using a PC] were having a hacking battle in Season 7.

The Amazing Race has had so many of these that it is perhaps better not to try and list them all; we'll limit ourselves to regular race terminology and skip over team nicknames. Some originated on the show itself, since the teams often have nicknames for each other, some came from the fandom.

"Tootie" and "Shroom" both refer to the strange bowl-cut makeover she was given in the cycle. "Carparts" was added because of a photoshoot where she was supposed to represent... car parts.
"Dora" became sort of common around IMDB for a while, in reference to the above mentioned bowl-cut.
Fans of the series called Angel's gang the "fang gang".
Television Without Pity referred to them as the Ministers of Grace, after a line from Hamlet: "Angels and ministers of grace, defend us!" Usually shortened to "MoG".

Admiral Ro - Admiral Helena Cain, as played by Michelle Forbes, who also played Ensign Ro Laren on Star Trek: TNG.
Gina - The Number Six Cylon who was captured by the Pegasus crew. From the feminized form of GINO, or "Galactica In Name Only" (a criticism leveled at the new series by fans of the original).

Blanders - Among certain fans, specifically those stuck in Season Two, the accepted way of referring to Kara Thrace's husband, Sam Anders.
Chip Six - Baltar's imaginary girlfriend, who was at one point thought to be the result of a computer chip implanted in his brain. The theory was disproved, but the nickname lingers on — and was extended to cover his real Cylon ex-girlfriend's hallucinatory "Chip Baltar." (AKA "Head Six", as in the script, but there are just too many jokes that could be made about that one. At least "Six-In-The-Head" has some dignity.)
Some people refer to her as "Seducto-Bot".
"Gaydar" - Gaeta. Or just Gayta (pronounced the same).
"Xena", "Xylon" - The Number Three series of humanoid Cylons, known to the Fleet as D'Anna Biers. Played by Lucy "Xena" Lawless.

Earth-BL - The series' pre-Crisis universe, since it never received a canon designation due to the abrupt way the series was introduced to the Arrowverse and how quickly it was lost to the antimatter, and the Arrowverse Wiki had to call it something.
The Duck Family - Booth, Brennan, and Sweets as True Companions.
The Boneyard-the official forum. There was, for a time, also the "Anti-Boneyard", a forum founded in protest of official board rules, but it is now shut down.
Squintern - An intern at the Jeffersonian. Recently became Ascended Fanon.
Pencil Boy - The First Evil. So nicknamed due to his intangibility making him useless for anything except monologuing and making scary faces. Or as one fan put it: "What's so scary about this guy? He couldn't even pick up a pencil if I dropped one on the floor."
"Cave Slayer" - Buffy zonked out on magic beer in "Beer Bad".
"Captain Cardboard" - Riley, Buffy's Season 4 boyfriend. Also originally used in the script.
"Smidge" - A mostly British nickname for Sarah Michelle Gellar, whose initials are SMG.

"Fanged Four", "The Whirlwind", or "Scourge of Europe" - Darla, Angelus, Drusilla, and Spike during their The Family That Slays Together heyday. "Fanged Four" is not to be confused with "Fang Gang", above. "Scourge of Europe" was said on the show, but only applied to Angelus. "Whirlwind" comes from a line by Darla in her eponymous Angel episode.
"Captain Peroxide" - Spike because of his platinum-blond hair.
The Folk Man has become a popular name on Youtube for Caleb.
Even though the show generally uses "Angelus" for Angel in the past and "Angel" for him in the present regardless of whether he has a soul, fans generally use "Angelus" as shorthand to refer to the soulless version of him and "Angel" for the ensouled version.
Card Sharks: The 2001 version has been referred to as CASINO (Card Sharks InNameOnly) or Card Guppies due to the revival being completely different and inferior compared to its predecessors.
Big Gay Chris - A Television Without Pity nickname for the very pretty, very femme-acting Mr. Fanservice that made Season Six slightly more entertaining. As it obvious he was a Kid from the Future, and Piper already had one kid, Wyatt, people assumed they were one and the same, leading Wyatt to be occasionally nicknamed Tiny Gay Chris until it turned out Chris was actually Wyatt's younger brother. The baby version of Chris inherited the latter nickname once he was born.
Maggot Neck - Another Television Without Pity nickname for Billie Jenkins. Her neck was... strange, to put it mildly. She was also known as The Retarded Bimbo, due to Kaley Cuoco's inadequate interpretation of the role combined with the character's abundant stupidity, which later became The Ultimate Retard once the character started being ominously referred to as "the Ultimate Power" on the show.

The Osment Effect — Another Television Without Pity original, used to describe the ghostly flashbacks used as one of the CSIs plays the crime out in their head.
Similarly, Greg was referred to as "Liam" on Television Without Pity for years, because his early hair style called to mind Liam Gallagher from Oasis and he wasn't named for a while.
Labitrail - The Television Without Pity nickname for the main CSI set, which is where Lab Rat used to spend his nights.
Liquid Man, the Amazing Bloat, and Good Ol' Soapy - Three cadavers that showcase, in all their gory, various stages of decomposition (namely, liquefied remains, accumulated gases that make a body swell up like a balloon, and saponification.)
GSR. Usually used as shorthand for "gunshot residue," a real forensic test to detect whether someone has fired a gun recently. CSI shippers use it for "Grissom/Sidle Romance".
A rare case of a body part getting a nickname, Nick's short-lived mustache during season 5 was and still is "The Porn-stache."
All the CSI franchise shows have fan nicknames for most ships, it would take a whole page to list them all. Most can be found at the Talk CSI forum's Shipper Central section, and yes you can view it without registering.
Ice Cream Girl/Ice Cream Kid: D.B.'s granddaughter, stemming from a mention in the article that announced her appearance of D.B. getting her ice cream.
M&M - Danny Messer and Lindsay Monroe, in a Shipping context.

Payless-fan nickname for Mac's girlfriend Peyton.
Darna: Due to being a fan favorite, Ali from the 2022 adaptation is often referred to as "Ali Best Boy" by fans.
The show itself gained the nickname "Hound's Bum," due to the very first scene in the intro being a shot from behind of the family dog walking toward the house. Either encouraged or outright created by star Dan Stevens.
Thomas Barrow also gained the title "Edwardian Sex Pest."
Dead Bob - The ghost of Cst. Benton Fraser's father, Sgt. Robert "Bob" Fraser, who is killed in the show's pilot but manages to become a recurring character anyway. Also called "Fraser Senior" or "OFDM" ("Our Favourite Dead Mountie").

OFC, "Our Favorite Cop" is either of the Rays.

The Goat-Ray K's Pontiac GTO.
Stetson of Invincibility-Fraser's hat, referring to a running joke that it has magical powers to protect him from harm.
The main fanfiction archive is still sometimes referred to as "Ex-wood" even today, because it was first hosted on the Hexwood forum before moving to its current squidge.org location.

Emergency!: The Ward LAFrance fire engine is affectionately known as Big Red.
EWTN: Rita Antoinette Rizzo aka Mother Mary Angelica of the Annunciation, founder and host of EWTN: "The Immortal Nun", because of her longevity and how the reruns of her talk show make people often believe she's still at the helm or her show's still on. (Even when, due to her old age and ailing health, her show went off the air in 2001).
The period where Richard Karn hosted has garnered the nickname "Flannel Feud", a reference to his typical outfit as Al Borland on Home Improvement.
"Phallic Feud" for Steve Harvey's version which saw an explosion of sex-themed questions and players goaded into giving "penis" and "boobs" as answers.
MoyaJohn/TalynJohn - Used to differentiate between the two Crichtons in season 3.
Most of the episodes are referred to by acronym, i.e. "Through the Looking Glass" is "TTLG"
FS - The show
"Black Tee Episode" refers to any episode in which the crew's sanity takes a severe hit. Possibly began with "Back and Back and Back to the Future" where John wore a black t-shirt as he experienced time skips. The creators tended to have John's wardrobe include a black t-shirt when it was one of those episodes. Epitomized by "Crackers Don't Matter".
Flans - likewise, after a Nathan Fillion blooper where he was trying to thank the "Firefly fans"...
Mal:
Captain Tightpants - Mal. Used once in the show, picked up by the fans (originally an on-set in-joke to when Nathan Fillion bent over and split his pants).
Occasionally Captain Sexypants to the female part of the fandom.
If you portmanteau his role in Doctor Horrible with this, you get Captain Hammerpants.
YoSaffBridge - The Femme Fatale who appears in two episodes and never reveals her real name. This name is portmanteau of the three aliases she uses in the series, coined In-Universe by Mal in "Trash".
Fleabag: the priest, who like most characters in the show is never given a name, was almost universially referred to as "Hot Priest" in the fandom, and the media generally. Writer Phoebe Waller-Bridge approves, saying she wishes she'd thought of calling him that herself, though actor Andrew Scott seems to find it slightly embarrassing, usually pointing how arrogant it would be to see a character identified as "Hot Priest" and think "that's a role for me!"
Forever Knight: Has nicknames for ships and fans of various characters that would take a whole page to fill. For example, 'Knighties' are either fans of the show in general or specifically Nick fans. NNPack is used for fans of the Nick/Nat ship. LaCroix fans are Cousins. (LaCroix is often referred to as 'Uncle' by them). Originated at FORKNI-L, though it's spread a bit.
Friends: The "One with Mockolate" ("The One with the List", for those who forget what the episode was actually about.)
"Book snobs", people who have read the books and are pretty strict when it comes to any and all deviations from the them. They usually have a strong dislike of the show from season 5 onwards, though many big changes earned their ire even before then. Website fandomentalist.com has even created the book snob glossary documenting all fan nicknames used by them. Highlights include:
"Larry" a.k.a. Show!Jaimie. He was given this name after his adventures in Dorne and return to Cersei, which not only didn't match his storyline in the books, but ruined his character arch.
"Carol" and "Cherryl" for Cersei. They refer to the disconect between show's attempts at toning down her villainy (hence "Carol", a nice lady who loves her children and has to wrestle for power with sexist men) untill the end of season 6, when they turned around and made her as bad or worse than in the books ("Cherryl").
"Deadpan", their nickname for show!Daenerys, refers to how much more flat her character, and consequently Emilia Clarke's performance, is.
"Porne", refering to show!Dorne, which even those who haven't read the books consider a cringeworthy racist carricature. Also "Faullaria" for show's version of Ellaria Sand, and "Sand Fakes", collectively refering to Nymeria, Obara and Tyene in the show.
The show itself is often called the Mob Power Hour due to the increasing shift to the mob instead of the hospital.
Let's not even get started on Spinelli's very own nicknames for people, such as "Maximista" for Maxie and "Stone Cold" for Jason. He refers to himself as either "The Jackal" or "Grasshopper"

Spinelli is called "The Spaz" or "Spaznelli" by people on soap boards.
Winifred is called Winnewack or "That stalker chick" or "Spin Clone" by militant Spixie fans
Maxie, on the other hand, is still called "The Bad Blonde One" (what Spinelli used to call her) by anti-Maxie and anti-Spixie fans. Unfortunately, Winifred's nickname for her, "Minimista", never caught on.
The Kliss - the Kurt/Blaine kiss. Also Klex: Kurt and Blaine consummating their relationship.
"The Dapper Shove" - the hilarious, ineffective, and yet courageous push that Blaine gave twice-his-size Karofsky after one homophobic remark too many.

Mama Petrelli - Angela Petrelli, Peter and Nathan's Evil Matriarch.

HRG - Noah Bennet. Stands for "Horn-Rimmed Glasses," still occasionally used for Noah in his Company role. The fact that his real name was unknown for most of the first season encouraged its use and helped it stick.
Bob - the Haitian, coined and mostly used by black fans who were annoyed at how long it took for the show to reveal his actual name.
Mystery Sock - Isaac Mendez, named after how Hiro Nakamura (whose native language is Japanese) pronounces "Mister Isaac".

Dame Devine - Clare, revered by the snarkier devotees of Hollyoaks because she totally owned Warren so many times, tried to kill Katy, and always had great one-liners.
Cuntstable Boringtine - Calvin. The Valentines were collectively dubbed "The Boringtines", being dull and entirely superfluous to the show beyond a Token Minority family, but Calvin is the least interesting of a boring bunch.
My Bloody Valentine - Lauren, yet another member of the Valentine family who, appropriately enough, is a Perky Goth.
Fembot/Rapebot - Katy, portrayed by an actress so bad (even by Hollyoaks standards) that her attempts at emoting appeared robotic.
Also "Chief Storyliner Tointon", after fans noted her uneven and inexplicable presence in most characters' plots and forming unlikely out-of-character friendships (especially so with John-Paul) and romantic pairings (Zak) in a Writer on Board sort of way, snarkily implying that she had some influence on the show's scripting merely to give herself extra scenes.

Also "Angry Pederast", for his questionable Ho Yay-filled capricious friendship with 18-year-old Justin.
crash!mum - The mother of the Valentine family, who existed pretty much entirely to get run over as soon as they arrived and thus inspire bucketloads of tedious and poorly-acted angst.

The dividing line is that the Showa series had creator Shotaro Ishinomori's involvement (some TV movies made shortly into Japan's Heisei era are considered part of the franchise's Showa group because of this). These terms were eventually canonized by the Heisei era's 15th anniversary movie which pit the two groups against each other.

Kamen Rider Pikachu -Meteor's Super Mode Meteor Storm, due to its yellow coloration with red circles on either side of the face.
Warren Statesman - Ryoma Sengoku. A fansub group called the Sengoku Drivers the Warring Drivers as a Woolseyism, and when the Drivers' creator Ryoma appeared they called him Ryoma Warring to match. From there it was a short jump from "Warring" to "Warren".
Citrus Mode - Jinba Lemon Arms, since it's activated by Orange and Lemon Lockseeds.
Takatora-Batta or Hawktiger - Takatora Kureshima, in reference to the TaToBa (short for Taka-Tora-Batta, meaning Hawk-Tiger-Grasshopper) Combo used in Kamen Rider OOO.
Kamen Driver - Due to Drive's automobile motif and uses a car as his main transportation as opposed to motorcycles just like his predecessors.
Team Golf - Self-proclaimed name of a group of fans who petitioned for a golf-themed series after the first trademarks for the show were registered (since nobody at the time knew what "Drive" was a reference to; it could have been driving a car, it could have been a computer drive... this group jokingly went with the idea that it was "drive" as in a golf swing).
Evil Teen Pop Star Sensation Chase - Chase, based on his costume and the appearance of his actor (described as "handsome" and "sexy" even by official material.)
iDad - The tablet computer hosting the digitised form of Professor Banno, who turns out to be Gou and Kiriko's father.
Common Rider - The show and/or the Riders, because of the way the characters pronounce "Kamen". Ads used a similar pun but called them "unKamen heroes" or something like that.

Cheekbones - ADA Jamie Ross, for her distinctive facial feature. Coined by Television Without Pity.

Vance (a murder defendant).
Texas Termanatrix - ADA Abbie Carmichael, so named for her no-nonsense, no-mercy attitude.

There are a whole host of funny TWOP nicknames explained here.
The Lone Ranger: The Mexican fandom of the series calls the titular character as El Llanero Con Solitaria which is translated from Spanish as The Worm-Infested Ranger, by playing with the phonetics of his Spanish name, El Llanero Solitario.
The Stranger is often referred to as "Meteor Man" by some fans due to his means of arrival. Others jokingly referred to him as "Baby Gandalf" based on speculation over his identity (which was essentially confirmed by the end of the season) and a reference to a Fan Nickname from another popular streaming series.
"Guyladriel" is a typically-derogatory, misogynistic one aimed at Galadriel, on account of the show's depiction of her in a more martial and masculine light compared to her book and film trilogy appearances. It's also very ironic, as one of Galadriel's other names, Nerwen, literally means "Man-maiden" in reference to her height and athletic pursuits.
Darlton - Used for the showrunners, Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse. They have jokingly claimed to prefer Cuselof.
Fenry - When the character who had been calling himself "Henry Gale" turned out to be lying about this (and pretty much everything else), fans nicknamed him "Fenry", short for "Fake Henry". When we finally found out that his real name was Ben at the beginning of Season 3, some people started to call him "Benry" instead.
Losties - The stranded passengers.
This has led to the creation of other names for groups, such as the Tailies (tail section of the plane) and Freighties/Boaties (from the freighter).
The Hydra - Television Without Pity nickname for showrunners Carlton Cuse and Damon Lindelof (a reference to the Hydra Station, a prominent location in the beginnning of season 3).
Esau - Jacob's mysterious rival, after Jacob's brother from The Bible.
Also affectionately referred to as MIB/Man In Black, Smokey, or The Nemesis
Craphole Island — The island. Coined by Shannon, picked up by the fandom.
Flocke - Fake Locke i.e. Esau/smoke monster disguised as Locke
He's been getting tons of nicknames: UnLocke, Smocke, John Mocke and the Lockeness Monster
Smokey/Smokey the Bear- the Smoke Monster. The first is self-explanatory. The second came from some theory that the smoke and the polar bear were created by the same force or were in fact the same entity.
Sayisus: Certain fan circles use this for Sayid, as a portmanteau of Sayid and Jesus, in reference to Sayid's resurrection at the beginning of season 6.
Princess Faraday: Also used in certain circles for Daniel Faraday. It's very popular on ontd_lost, for instance.
Mad Men: After Joan surprised him in bed, her fiance Greg decided that she was just a bit too slutty and took her down a peg or two in Don's office after hours, earning him the nickname Dr. Rape. Or Dr. McRapey.
The Mandalorian: "Baby Yoda" (the nickname for Grogu, a 50-year old infant of the same species as Yoda) is one of the most famous, if not the most famous, fan nickname ever, due in part to the character remaining unnamed until the middle of season 2. Indeed, the nickname is so unanimous that the cast and crew of the show use it regularly, and even the CEO of Disney himself has used it in official business emails. Interestingly, showrunner Jon Favreau isn't a fan of the nickname, because, as he points out, the character isn't actually Yoda. Of course, since Yoda's species has notoriously remained a secret since the beginning, one that George Lucas ouright forbade anyone from exploring in the Expanded Universe (a mandate kept even after the franchise's sale to Disney), we didn't really have anything else to call The Child until a helpful Jedi set us all straight.
M*A*S*H: "The Alan Alda Show"; particularly when Alda became one of the driving creative forces behind the show by the sixth season.
The Slash Dragon - the last Dragon. So named for being a blatant Merlin/Arthur shipper. (Please note that the characters are both young men in this version).
Uther is often King Giles, due to being played by Anthony Head.
Morgana has picked up the name "Smirkgana" since season 3, a reference to her evil smirks that occur at least once an episode.
Arthur's king crown has already been dubbed "The Buger King Crown" because it looks like one.
Merlin and Guinevere are the Camelot Detective Agency, due to constantly being the only ones willing and able to investigate the shenanigans in Camelot.
Pegleg - Amputee Paul Robinson. Actually used in-show within two days of a recapper coining it. Said recapper decided it was no longer any fun, and switched to Eileen.
WOB - Bree Timmins, a rotund girl named after a cheese. Hence Wheel Of Brie.
Spoony or Spoonface - Katya Kinski, based on the absurd suggestion that she looks like a big shiny spoon. After seeing enough MS paint art on the subject, you almost start to see the resemblance...
BSW - Blue Speedo Will, after his especially revealing credits shot. This is considered by some his only worthwhile contribution to the series.
Will 2.0, Williver, or just plain Will - Oliver, the Jonas Quinn brother of Will, who materialised from nowhere when the original actor quit. Still in use, even though Oliver's tenure is four times the length of Will's already.
The Big Brother House - Number 30, and the vapid twentysomethings who invaded it in late 2006. Actually used on-screen when the inhabitants held a reality TV-style contest ripped wholesale from, er... Survivor.
When referring to Boyd during his last year, recappers tended to just choose their favourite expletive and use it as a proper noun.
Sunset Bitch....
Once Upon a Time: A lot of fans refer to the family unit of Emma, Regina, and Henry as the "Swan-Mills Family".
Scott Ross, the amoral, sexually indiscriminate biker, was known to many fans as "Scott Ross, that ho" altogether, as though it were a title.
Chris Keller became known as 'Serial Keller' after he revealed that he was, in fact, a serial killer.
Parks and Recreation: Human Disaster - Ben Wyatt. This was one of several insulting nicknames Joan Callamezzo gave him in the episode "Media Blitz." Apparently, people liked it. It's generally used by fangirls who find him Adorkable.
Fans sometimes use "Person of Interest" as a nickname for the irrelevant numbers. In-Universe, the only person referred to as a "Person of Interest" was John Reese.
Jeebus - Breakout Character Tommy Oliver, due to his longevity and Deus ex Machina-like powers. Comes with jokes about sacrificing Zords, Pink Ranger fetishes, and more.
Kalishplosions - Starting with S.P.D., dramatic pyrotechnics became more and more frequent (at one point caused by a jet-spray of water). Then-new executive producer Bruce Kalish was blamed, but there's now evidence that longtime stunt choreographer, Koichi Sakamoto, is the actual culprit... The RPM equivalent (since Kalish left the job after the previous season) is "Ziggysplosion", after Ziggy's Lampshade Hanging of them in "Ranger Blue."
Zordon Era - The series from Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers to Power Rangers in Space. Similarly, "Saban Era" for Mighty Morphin' through Time Force and "Disney Era" for Wild Force through RPM, based on which company produced the show. Series after RPM, when Saban took the rights back, don't have a standardized nickname yet; "Post-Disney Era" and "Neo-Saban Era" are common ones.
Koichi Camp - The six-week session of martial arts and stunt training all the actors go through before filming begins. Named after stunt coordinator Koichi Sakamoto, even the more athletic actors have claimed to have been humbled by the experience.
Christmas Tree Ranger - Tommy once again, due to the fact that his first three Ranger powers were green, white, and red, in that order. When black was added to the mix, it evolved into "Technicolor Ranger."
Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers: Zyu2 - Refers to the action scenes that Toei's film crew produced specifically for Power Rangers that were used for the final episodes of Season 1 (following "Doomsday") and the early episodes of Season 2 (before the departure of the Green Ranger and the switch to Gosei Sentai Dairanger footage for all the giant robot battles).
The United Alliance of Evil - The gathering of villains from Mighty Morphin' up to that point in the series called together by order of Dark Specter. While mentioned in Zeo as a group King Mondo broke away from, it was a throwaway line in that season and the congregation is unnamed in canon.
Crisis of Infinite Rangers - "Countdown to Destruction" (C2D for short), the final episode, notable for being PR's first Grand Finale and the writers' efforts to provide closure for as many villains and plot lines as financially feasible. (Poor Phantom Ranger...) Named after DC Comics's Crisis on Infinite Earths.
Power Rangers Lost Galaxy: Charlie Brown Suits - The Rangers' suits feature a predominantly white torso with a zig-zag across the middle, greatly resembling the shirt worn by Good Ol' Charlie Brown. Also applies to the team's Gingaman counterparts.
Beevor, Ivan, Cliff, and Rachel - Fanon names for the A-Squad Power Rangers. Leader Charlie is the only one with an official name.
Battle Thong - The Battlizer armor which, in its first, more agile form, resembled little more than shoulder pads, a sword, and a jock strap. Also sometimes called the "Jack Strap" due to its primary user's name, or "cyber diaper."
Tinkersam - Sam the Omega Ranger, due to his infamously bad condition of being stuck as a ball of light.
iMack - Mack Hartford, given that he's an android.
Retro Rangers - The team recruited by the Sentinel Knight for the 15th anniversary Reunion Show. Coined by actor Johnny Yong Bosch on Rangerboard, when he confirmed that his character, Season 2-5's Adam, was the de facto leader of the group.
Power Rangers New Powers - The nameless-in-Power-Rangers core Gosei Sentai Dairanger suits, as popularized by this fan video mocking both the sloppy justification for their sudden existence in Power Rangers canon and the overuse of the words "new powers" during the first usage in "Earth Fights Back."
Power Rangers Blitz - The nameless-in-Power-Rangers and completely unexplained Hikari Sentai Maskman suits; derived from Gia declaring "Legendary Ranger Blitz!" before morphing into "Yellow Mask" in "Samurai Surprise."
Super Megafail, Super Mehgaforce, Super Megafarce, Super Megaflop - Overall opinion of Super Megaforce.
Dino Hope - Nickname given to Dino Charge after proclaiming, then showing off its improved character and story quality in its first two episodes compared to arguably all of the previousfour yearscombined. Named for a concept from Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger vs. Go-Busters.
Baby Raptor - Riley's nickname due to him being the Raptor Ranger as well as the youngest member of the team (in-universe).
The Dino Lair - the unnofical name of the team's secret base under the museum, since it was never given an official title.
Power Rangers Beast Morphers: "Beef Morphers", which several people have said by accident when trying to say the proper name.
Der Preis ist heiß (German counterpart of The Price Is Right): Alter Schreihals (Old squaller), for Walter Freiwald who indeed has No Indoor Voice. Part of his job, I guess.
Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon: Dark Sailor Mercury is referred to as "Darkury" by fans. Some fans also refer to her civilian form as "Akumi" a combination of Ami and Aku meaning dark. Rumor has it the latter was actually coined by the show's staff.
The inhabitants of Golden-Road.net refer to the show's pricing games with embarrassingly cutesy pet nicknames like "Cliffy" for Cliffhangers, "Baggy" for It's In The Bag, and so on.
Shows where all 6 pricing games end in failure and the Showcase ends in a double overbid are called "El Skunko".
Princess Agents: YouTube commenters dubbed Wei Shu You "Vampire Guy". It started because someone said his sharp teeth resembled vampire fangs. Other people took that description and ran with it.

"Diaper Monkey" is the name some podcasters gave to the season four episode "The Wrong Stuff", which has Sam Beckett leaping into a chimpanzee wearing a diaper.
Charlie Matheson has been referred to as "Bratniss" and "Blandniss", due to her being perceived as a bland brat Expy of Katniss from The Hunger Games.

Team Matheson - refers to the protagonists, due to the fact that they are basically a team that happens to be made up mostly of Mathesons.
Tower Clan - refers to the Dwellers, whose existence in the Tower wasn't revealed until "Clue", and they only made further appearances in "Children of Men" and "The Dark Tower".
Team Leather - Sheriff/Guy. Also included Allan and Isabella at different points of the show.

Sex and the City: After wedding-planner/Pet Homosexual Anthony addressed Charlotte with the cutesy nickname "Char", recappers thereafter dubbed the remaining characters with similar shortenings: Car, Mir, and Sam.
"Moftiss" (or "Mofftiss") has become popular as a portmanteau for the show's two creators, Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss. (As in, "Moftiss are evil trolls!" or "No, please don't, Moftiss, we can't take it!!")
The purple shirt occasionally worn by Sherlock on the show has been dubbed "The Purple Shirt of Sex". Sherlock's blue scarf is notorious enough that it need only be referred to as "The Scarf". This is also true of John's oatmeal cable-knit jumper, known only as "The Jumper". Yes, Scarf/Jumper is one of the biggest ships in the fandom.
The Pink - Largely retired, but Lana used to wear a lot of pink.
The Squirrel - Lana. Originated because she used to make squirelly faces when getting angry, confused or upset, stuck around because she stole men's nuts. Yes, it's from Television Without Pity.
Nois - As in "no is (is not) [Lois]", used by those who feel she is not worthy of being Iconic Lois Lane.

Chloogle and more recently Lanapedia - Obviously, Chloe Sullivan and Lana Lang, due to the abilities that both have displayed to be able to look up information on just about anything for Clark. Due to some recent developments, the first moniker isn't that far off from canon.
Chucknician - Chuck, who was called Canadian Technician Guy until he was officially named on the show. He was named Chuck in show but that's because he's called Chuck.
Recliner of Doom - the control chair, because it is used only when the city is under attack. The name also possibly comes from the common Atlantis fanfic trope that the control chair will one day do permanent damage to Sheppard's brain.
Tey-Lo - Teyla, who vaguely resembles Jennifer Lopez.
Yahoo - John Sheppard, due to his status as the all American gung ho poster boy.
Angry Puppy - Ronon Dex. Coined in the LiveJournal episode recapping community "Zero Point Snark".

Replicarter - The Replicator copy of Samantha Carter.
Ancient Head-Suckers - the Ancient Repositories of Knowledge, because they encase the head of whoever ventures near enough.
Col. Fanboy - Col. Mitchell.
Arm!Porn - a term used in Stargate forums to refer to the tendency, especially in later seasons, to place buff and mostly-buff characters in sleeveless shirts. Since, by the 9th season, this included every male member of SG-1...
Fargate - used to describe the last two seasons, when Ben Browder and Claudia Black of Farscape had joined the cast as regulars.
"CSP" was used a few times when William B. Davis of The X-Files showed up in season 9: the definition given was "Cigarette-Smoking Prior".
Recurring character Major Davis is sometimes called "Major Disaster Davis" due to the fact that he usually appears during a crisis.
Vanessa James has thus far mainly been Fanservice, if occasionally self-aware Fanservice. Her fan nicknames tend towards things like "2nd Lt. Tits McGee".
GateFail2009 (or just GateFail) to refer to the whole series, resulting from die-hard fans upset about the lack of previously known characters, consistent mythology within the Stargate franchise, or the Soap OperaIN SPACE!! nature of the series as opposed to the sci-fi adventure format of SG1 and SGA. As well as feminists complaining about...feministy stuff. And, lest we forget, Battlegate Voyager 90210.
"Smurfs" is a commonly used name for the blue, catfish-like aliens hunting the Destiny
Sergeant Greer's early apparent temper problems caused him to be referred to as Furious George.
Nero's time meddling - same concept as the Retroactive Cannon (i.e. a force that erases things out of existence in a reboot), only strictly applied to Star Trek.
38-of-D - Seven of Nine from Star Trek: Voyager. Refers to her most immediately striking physical feature, and no, we don't mean her Borg cybernetics. Variants include 2-of-2, 2x2 ("two by two"), and 10-of-10.
Also 6-of-9, when fans thought the new character would be Star Trek's long-promised gay character.
In Italy, the name Seven of Nine is translated literally as "Sette di Nove", so Italian fans started calling the character "Tette di Nove", meaning "Tits of Nine".
Also Barbie Borg after her resemblance to the well endowed doll.
And of course there's Cyber-Tits because of her...well.
Captain Hepburn - Captain Kathryn Janeway (played by Kate Mulgrew) of Voyager, who looked and sounded a lot like Katharine Hepburn and was similar in attitude to a lot of Hepburn's characters. AKA Captain Kate.
Mrs. Columbo, Captain Columbo, in reference to Mulgrew playing Columbo's elusive wife in a spinoff of Columbo.
A number of nicknames originally coined by Chuck Sonnenberg on his show SF Debris have been adopted by certain fan communities:
Captain Mom, once again for Captain Janeway. Originally coined derisively towards the way Janeway micromanages various aspects of her ship, many fans use it positively to refer to her as the crew's matriarchal, warm leader.
Janeway of Borg, referring to Janeway's tendency to pick up and "assimilate" alien crew members.
Captain Bipolar, mostly because midway through the third season, Janeway's command style changed without warning between episodes, due to inconsistent characterization.
Two nicknames given to us by members of the Q Continuum: "Chuckles" for Chakotay, and "Helm Boy" for Tom Paris.
And then, there's the Voyager itself: known primarily for resetting everything to status quo at the end of each episode, the ship became known as the HMS Reset Button. Janeway's My Way or the Highway attitude she often cops provides the HMS.
The Magic Meeting Room, and The Magic Conference Table, referring to the room and the prop where major characters gather to discuss the Problem of the Week and its solution. Particularly notable in the episode Twisted, where, in the absence of one, they gather a bunch of serving tables into an impromptu Magic Conference Table.
Duchess, referring to Captain Archer of Enterprise due to his apparent mental instability that could easily lead to his insisting on being called such. Typically applied by noting some big role Archer played in getting the crew into their current predicament, followed by "Nice going, Duchess!"
Strangely, this may have jumped into a completely unrelated series, where the character secret agent Sterling Archer's codename is "Duchess."
The USS Defiant has come to be known as the USS Ben Sisko's Motherfuckin' Pimp Hand thanks to SF Debris. Defiant was Sisko's second choice for the ship's name - Starfleet command thought his first choice was too long.
Space Hitler - Gul Dukat.
The shapeshifter Laas gets Mine's Bigger for a particularly hammy line.
Read-Only - a pun on Quark's brother Rom, who tends to be rather slow on the uptake.
Bondage Bajoran - The Intendant Mirror Universe Kira.
Neckbones - Cardassians.
Lush Lizard - Damarr in the later seasons when he turns to alcoholism.
Doctor Feelgood - Bashir.
Cosmic Apple Core - any Bajoran Orb.
Dustbuster - The phasers from Star Trek: The Next Generation. The smaller, easily concealable version is called the "Cricket".
Various uniforms have nicknames: The Star Trek II-VI movie uniforms, both very impressive-looking and notoriously difficult to accurately replicate (the turtlenecks, specifically, required trapunto quilting machines to make, and those things only exist in museums these days—which was where the costumers for Wrath of Khan got them in the first place), are called the "Monster Maroons." The rather less impressive Star Trek: TNG uniforms that replaced them (both in-universe and in-media) are the "spacesuit" or more derisively, "pajamas."
B&B, Bermaga, Beavis & Butthead - The Rick Berman/Bannon Braga writing team, most often seen on the later Star Trek series. This particular pairing has been accused of running the Trek franchise into the ground by a large portion of the fanbase. "Bermaga" is another Television Without Pity name. "Bregma" (rhymes with...) has also made the rounds.
So has "The Blunder Twins."
The killer Bs was popular on some sites for a while.
Akiraprise - The starship Enterprise from Star Trek: Enterprise, because there is evidence that it looks like the Akira class, designed at least two hundred years later.
Boobyprise - A derogatory name for the Enterprise of that same series, or the series itself, due to the contrived Fanservice throughout a fair bit of the series.
Scotty of the Dead - The new movie's Scotty, played by Simon "Shaun of the Dead" Pegg.
Sylock - The new movie's Spock, played by Zachary "Sylar" Quinto.
Spocklar - See above
Counselor Cleavage - Deanna Troi in TNG, for her tendency to wear relatively low-cut uniforms, especially early in the show's run.
Also Counselor Cabbagehead (the Nitpicker's Guild for the character who's implausibly dumb and therefore needs explanations that the audience also needs, a role Troi plays far too often).
Ensign Jailbait - the reboot Pavel Chekov, played by Anton Yelchin.
Captain Fine - reboot Captain Kirk, played by Chris Pine.
Cupcake - an unnamed but semi-plot-relevant Enterprise security officer after a nickname given to him by Kirk in a barfight. (He's credited as "Burly Cadet #1").
Harold Sulu - The reboot's Hikaru Sulu, played by John Cho.
The Jack Pack - the quartet of Augments charged to Bashir's care in the Deep Space Nine episode "Statistical Probabilities". Jack is their hyperactive leader. Codified in the Decipher card game.
Picard's 'shirt tug' became known as 'The Picard Maneuver.'note This is a Descended Meme, as the Picard Maneuver In-Universe was Picard's use of Faster-Than-Light Travel, against an enemy with no FTL sensors, to execute a Doppelgänger Spin. This one probably started with the show's production staff rather than fans.
And Riker's penchant for standing with one leg up on consoles became known as 'The Riker Maneuver' or 'The Riker Pose.'
The Riker Chair Maneuver, for his unusual way of sitting in a chair.
Doctor Ginger milf: Doctor Beverly Crusher, for obvious reasons.
"Momulan" for Laris, as while she is younger than Picard, her Mama Bear tendencies and Crusty Caretaker characterization give her a motherly presence on the show.
"Admiral Not-cheyev" for Admiral Clancy, a female superior officer that is absolutely not afraid to talk down Picard, not unlike Admiral Nechayev from TNG.
"Romulan Legolas" and "Space Legolas" for Elnor, whose long hair, Elfeminate features and agile, graceful combat style are reminiscent of Legolas in The Lord of the Rings. Alternately, he's also referred to as "Romulan Elrond" because their names are similar ("Elnor" means "Star-Run" note which is another way of saying "Star-Trek"! in Sindarin), they both use swords (Elrond wielded a sword in the prologue of The Fellowship of the Ring), and the location of the Qowat Milat monastery where Elnor was raised could be mistaken for the forest of Rivendell due to the autumn-like colours of both the foliage and the late afternoon/early evening sunlight. It also helps that Evan Evagora and Hugo Weaving are both Australian.
"Murder Roll" is also used for Elnor because he's an efficient killer and because he's a "cinnamon roll" (which is Tumblr-speak for The Cutie).
"Romulan Bene Gesserit" for the Qowat Milat. The Bene Gesserit sisterhood in Dune is also an Amazon Brigade that does not accept men as members, although a few males may receive its specialized training. Elnor's fighting skills are praised by Zani, the Qowat Milat leader (the equivalent of the Bene Gesserit's Reverend Mother), which would make him somewhat analogous to Paul Atreides.
"Borg King" for Hugh because he would've become the Artifact's male Borg Queen if Narissa hadn't murdered him.
The Winchesters: Due to the parallel between the two sets of brothers, Television Without Pity have dubbed the Winchesters "The Hardy Boys." This was actually used in "A Very Supernatural Christmas" and "Abandon All Hope."
Dean: El Deano or Dashing El Deano, from Television Without Pity. Ducky Lips - A.K.A Dean's pouty mouth. Also from Television Without Pity. Li'l Stumpy, referring to his bowlegs and his lack of height in comparison to Sam. First started on... guess where.
Sam: Sasquatch, Moose, Gigantor, Sam the Ginormotron, Winchester Jumbo-Size, Giraffe, Jolly Green Giant, all referring to his height; Puppy; Darling Sammy (from Television Without Pity); RoboSam (Sam without a soul in season 6), Boy King Sam
John: Daddy Shut Up/Shut Up Daddy — A nickname applied to John on Television Without Pity, who has taken a lot of heat across the forums and in the recaps for his actions (or non-actions) and the consequences of those on the show. Also 'Papa Winchester'.
Castiel: Cas; Clairestiel, when he possesses Jimmy Novak's daughter Claire's body; Thingstiel (Castiel's celestial form); Godstiel (after Castiel declared himself God)
The Impala: "The Metallicar", note Trope Namer for Metallicar Syndrome named in part for the type of music that is often played on its stereo. Also from Television Without Pity, but it's even been picked up by TV Guide.
Alastair: Fake Brando. A Television Without Pity-coined nickname for Hell's main torturer demon in Season 4, who, no matter what host he is in, always sounds like he's doing an incredibly horrible Marlon Brando impression.
Eric Kripke: The Kripkeeper, the show's creator, on whom the fans blame all of their issues and angst.
Lucifer: Lucy; Samifer — Lucifer in Sam's body; Markifer — Lucifer in Nick's body (named for actor Mark Pellegrino)
Other: When Sam merged with the Impala in "Changing Channels", fans dubbed it the "Sampala". Dean, Sam, and Castiel are known collectively as Team Free Will.
Forehead - Gunpei (Go-on Black) from Go-Onger, due to his massive forehead.
Piper - Kegalesia from the same series, due to her costume and the... colorful (porn) history of her actress. When she combined with Bomper in the Net movie specials, the warped combination was named "PipeBom".
ChickenHopper - Hiroto/Go-on Gold, because his actor previously potrayed Kamen Rider KickHopper, and his personal mecha/zord is based on a chicken.
Pimp Hikaru - Hikaru (Magishine) from Magiranger with his gold-and-blue ensemble and ability to seduce women, including Makito's love interest while Makito is there.
Aibaranger - Ryunosuke (Shinken Blue) from Shinkenger. A reference to the popularity of his actor, Aiba Hiroki (and his fangirls who invaded the fandom after he was cast in the part), and the title of past series Abaranger.
Ryunosuke is occasionally given the nickname Marijuana Man as well, due to the fact that people unfamiliar with kanji may assume that his helmet's visor looks like a cannabis leaf◊.
Let's be fair though. That visor has been heavily stylized so he'll be able to see out of it. The kanji for water looks more like this.◊ Even if you are familiar with kanji, it still looks a little funny.
Elvis Mode - The Shinkengers' power-up, which looks like this.
Neko-Tono - Shinkenger's Takeru, in reference to an episode where his soul is transferred into a statue of a lucky "beckoning" cat.
Hyde Quinto - Hyde/GoseiBlue from Goseiger, so-called by some fans who think his actor bears a resemblance to Zachary Quinto.
Gumball Machines - The Goseigers' Super Tenswords◊, as seen in this picture.
Sixth Ranger Syndrome - The way most series tend to sideline the Sixth Ranger: leaving him out of battles, sending him off on separate missions from the others, excluding him from team-bonding moments or having him be unable to fight at a crucial moment
Vs. Hair - The new hairstyles that characters are often seen with when they return for the Vs. movie with the following series.
Michael Joe Takeru - Takeru/Red Mask from Hikari Sentai Maskman, to avoid confusion with the Takeru of Shinkenger. "Michael Joe" was the Dub Name Change given to Maskman!Takeru in the Philippines.
AmeriBasco - Basco's potential Power Rangers counterpart. It was mainly used when talking about how Basco's actor Kei Hosogai could also play the American version of Basco, as he is fluent in English and lived in America for 15 years. (The character was ultimately Adapted Out of Power Rangers Megaforce.)
Kiryuger, Kinger - Derogatory name for Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger from fans who consider the Red Ranger Daigo "King" Kiryu to be too powerful/get too much focus compared to other characters.
Candy and Lucky - Candelira and Luckyuro from Kyoryuger.
Power Trainger, Traingers - Ressha Sentai Tokkyuger, themed around trains. Often in used by fans hoping for a Power Rangers adaptation of the sentai ("give us Power Traingers you cowards").
Orange Arms - Akira Nijino from Tokkyuger, who's an Orange Ranger popular with some fans for regularly having his arms on show. A pun on Orange Arms mode from Kamen Rider Gaim (which aired opposite Tokkyuger.)
Lawnmower Man - Shuriken Sentai Ninninger's Yakumo, who got a focus episode about his devotion to a lawnmower he owns.
Sweet Home (2020): "Batgirl and Swordsman" has been spotted on Tumblr as a nickname for Yoon Ji-su and Jung Jae-heon. Because Ji-su uses a baseball bat as a weapon, and Jae-heon wields a katana.
Pack Mom - Stiles, especially by the Sterek shippers who see Stiles as the mom to Derek's Alpha/Pack Dad.
People have also taken to calling Derek "Sourwolf" after Stiles called him by the name in one episode.
Stile's dad, having no established first name, has been affectionately dubbed Papa Stilinski.
Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles: Taminator - Cameron, the cute, waifish Terminator played by Summer Glau. Named after River Tam, the cute, waifish killing machine Glau played on Firefly. There is also "Glauminator" and "Toaster-Cam". There are other variations, such as "Robo-River" and "Caminator." Or even Rivernator. There's also "Cameriver Glau" or the like that pops up from time to time. As well as "Tin Miss" as a reference to the Tin Man from Wizard of Oz.
Top Chef: TV's Jesse Spencer - Jeff of season 5, for looking remarkably like Dr. Chase from House or simply.... Chase - numerous people refer to him by this name and were genuinely surprised upon being informed that that was not in fact his name.
Captain Spike - Captain John Hart of Torchwood, played by James Marsters.
Myfanwy - Is what the cast and production team named the CGI pterodactyl in Torchwood, or perhaps what they named the stand in prop used before the CG is added. This has spread to the fandom and more-or-less supplanted the previous fan-nickname of "Bob" once it was revealed. It has also led fans to the conclusion that the pterodactyl is female, as Myfanwy is a female name.
"The Scooby Gang" for all of the Torchwood team. Until Children of Earth, at least.
Coffee bagging - Petitioning for Ianto to return to the show, despite the producers stating that he's definitely dead. Refers to fans who sent bags of coffee to the BBC in protest after the character's departure.
The Nine Hysterical Women - The people that were upset at the death of Ianto Jones, coming from when RTD claimed that that was all the people who had written in or were upset when it happened. Many use it to prove that RTD killed him off because he had a larger fan base than Gwen. FYI, there are more than nine.
Three Kingdoms: Actor Yang Tong became "king of minor roles" (龙套帝) to the Chinese fandom after fans noticed that he had made over twenty separate appearancesspanning almost the entire series, with two of those roles being in the same episode (both for Wu), his total appearances spanning least five different factions (including all three kingdoms), and one of them being a named and plot-relevant character. To make it funnier, almost all of the unnamed roles were also speaking roles.
The Tudors: Thomas Boleyn is generally referred to as Papa Boleyn. Henry VII (not a character, but still discussed) is Papa Tudor. Katherine Howard is often called Kitty, while the soon-to-appear Katherine Parr is called Kate. These last two seem to have historical basis and are also a way of telling the last two Katherines, who were wives five and six, apart - not to mention distinguishing them from wife number one, Katherine of Aragon.
The popular kaiju Red King is often called "Corn King" or "Corn Godzilla" by western fans due to the endless jokes about how his knobby skin makes him look like a corncob and because he isn't actually red.
An equally popular kaiju, Gomora, is nicknamed by some as "the Prince of the Monsters" as an homage to Godzilla (or "the King of the Monsters") because Gomora's popularity with fans and recognizable status in Japan make him sorta like the Godzilla of Ultra kaiju. Additionally, his debut Multi-Part Episode was titled "The Monster Prince" (although the title "prince" was just a kid who knew a lot about kaiju).
Ultraman Ace is called by some "The Guillotine Prince" as his series is notorious among fans for having some extreme cases of Family-Unfriendly Violence involving Choju getting sliced up by Ace's favourite Finishing Move, the Ultra Guillotine.
Ultraman Leo: The popular Teru-Teru Bōzu-esque Flying Saucer Kaiju Nova is (both affectionately and derogatorily) known as "Blanket Man" because the monster's suit looks like it was made by draping the suit actor in a red blanket.
AIB, the Hero Secret Service of Ultraman Geed, officially stands for Alien Investigation Bureau, but fans like to call it "Aliens in Black" because the two organizations function much the same, except Geed's consists almost entirely of alien members with only a single Token Human.
The Ricktatorship: For the new group dynamic Rick establishes at the end of season 2. After all, it isn't a democracy anymore, he's the only one in control.
2-Dog or O-Dog for Oscar, as he is the first major black character after T-Dog, and because he becomes a member of Rick's group the same episode T-Dog dies.
3-Dog for Tyreese, as he's introduced in the same episode Oscar dies. Seeing a pattern here.
Trevor for the unnamed Savior that appeared in the last episode of season 6, as he is played by Steven Ogg (Trevor from Grand Theft Auto V), and his character personality is essentially the same as GTA V's Trevor.
Mandyville — where Mandy went after she was Put on a Bus with no explanation, and where other characters (Ainsley, Danny, Mallory) sometimes visited her. This one is sometimes applied to other shows, probably thanks to Television Without Pity.
The Fab Four: Toby, CJ, Josh and Sam.
The Jackal: CJ, after her famous lip-synching of "The Jackal": "I'm the firmest of the firm/And in case you hadn't known/They call me the Jackal."
Rosslyn: the assassination attempt in Rosslyn, Virginia that occurred in the Wham Episode "In The Shadow Of Two Gunmen" (I&II). Many West Wing discussions divide the timeline into "Pre-Rosslyn" and "Post-Rosslyn".
"Bernarnold" for Bernard, probably the most frequently used nickname for a character. Bernard Lowe has past ties to the deceased Arnold Weber, in more ways than one. Some have slurred the nickname further, to the likes of "Bananold".
Due to many viewers and fellow fans mispronouncing Dolores Abernathy's name (e.g. Delores, Doloris, Deloris, etc.), some fans of the series had started nicknaming the character "Doritos", mocking the increasing weirdness of the mispronunciations.
"Billiam" for William's character. He tends to be referred to as either "William" or "Bill/Billy", depending on the particular period of his life that's being shown, hence the portmanteau. In a bit of Actor Allusion, some fans have also speculated that William's never-revealed surname is "McPoyle".
"Budget Hemsworth" for security chief Ash Stubbs, as he's played by the least famous and (currently) least-earning of the Hemsworth brothers.
Angela is played by Talulah Riley, who happens to be Elon Musk's ex-wife (twice). Accordingly, many have nicknamed Angela "Elon Musk's Ex".
The "Teddynator" for Teddy Flood, at a particular point in the second season's storyline. Unfortunately, less funny and more tragic. Dolores has the considerate and heroic Teddy forcefully reprogrammed into a ruthless, unflinching killer, who'll blindly do her bidding. Ted might seem badass at first, but becomes terrifying, making for a sad but fitting nickname.
The Trip Puzzle for the Prize Puzzle due to only trips being offered for solving the puzzle (with only three known exceptions). With the diminished quality in writing Wheel has had since the early 2010s, fans have begun to call it the Trippin' Puzzle.
The minimum cash prize for appearing on the show, $1,000, has been called "the pity thousand" by fans after a contestant referred to it as "pity money" on one episode.
Similarly, the house minimum and first Toss-Up values (also $1,000) are referred to as "the false dignity thousand" if that's all a contestant wins.
"Free Vowel" for the Free Play wedge since almost everyone called a vowel whenever it was landed on - though the players only really did so because the contestant coordinators heavily and repeatedly suggested it. note (The nickname also fits because the original pilot had a Free Vowel wedge; Free Play was basically an expanded Spiritual Successor.)
"Pink Bankrupt Magnet" has been a coined event for a contestant losing the Wild Card to Bankrupt.
The categories "What Are You Doing?" and "What Are You Wearing?" have commonly been shortened to their acronyms WAYD? and WAYW?, respectively.
If a week has all five Bonus Rounds lost, it is said to be "skunked". This term is borrowed from The Price Is Right fan community, where the same term is used if an episode has all six pricing games completely lost.
The white object contestants use to spin the wheel in Season 38 and Season 39 has been called the "Wheel condom" thanks to its unfortunate design.
Fans have taken to calling Jeopardy! "that other game show" thanks to syndication markets giving Wheel the short end of the stick whenever there are pre-emptions.
Wonder Woman (2011 pilot)—Since it's just a pilot that got leaked without an official airing, some editorial notes will sometimes appear on the bottom of the screen. People sometimes joke that "Pants to be darkened" is the episode's title, since it shows up right when you would expect one too. (The note is in reference to changing the baffling blue rubber pants that Wonder Woman wears.)
The Organization - the sinister group that the Smoking Man and Strughold work for.
Cigarette Smoking Man, a.k.a. Morley Man (after his preferred brand), a.k.a. Cancer Man. "Cancer Man" eventually started being used in the show itself. "Marlborough Man" has also been used, after the source of the expied brand used in the show and the spokes-character introduced to sell it after it was switched from being a "woman"'s brand.
The Schwarzenalien, the Mighty Morphin Bounty Hunter - Shapeshifting alien played by Brian Thompson.
The Fowl One - Diana Fowley (also reffered to by more colorful names).
Plam - the knife with the retractable blade that the show implied was THE ONLY weapon that could kill the aliens. Named from a moment when Mulder's mother was trying to tell him she'd hidden one in her lamp - but she'd had a stroke, so "lamp" came out "plam."
The veiled leader figure with antlers seen in the cannibalism scenes in the "Pilot" has been dubbed the Antler Queen, aka Lottie. Though there are those who still theorize that these things alone aren't enough to say it's her for sure and it could still be someone else.
The corpse found in the cabin in 1996, and presumably its original owner, is often called "Cabin Daddy".
"Snackie" for Jackie, after the episode her corpse gets cooked in a failed cremation attempt and her desperate teammates decide to eat her.
Many fans refer to Jessica Roberts as simply "the reporter." Notably, many do this even after it's revealed that she is not actually a reporter, but a private detective, or more specifically, according to her, a "fixer" for rich people.
