Headscratchers / Toy Soldiers

• Probably a silly question, but how did Jonathan "Snuffy" Brabury get his nickname? Likewise How did Derek get the nickname "Yogurt?"
  • Per IMDb, "Yogurt" came about when the actors were riding to the set and Derek's actor Shawn Phelan was eating yogurt. The van hit a bump and he got covered with it so they started calling Phelan "Yogurt" and this was integrated into the character.
• It's shown more than once that Billy can't lie to the Dean, quite explicitly about the booze disguised as mouthwash. So when the kids are hiding in the basement, why is there a fake mouthwash bottle they use to give the headmaster a drink?
