Card Nicknames....

There are endless posts on many fourums, but I want to know alt nicknames besides the ones the PROs use for cards. Like for instance in my play group we call Echo Mage Hootie because he looks like Dairus Rucker. What are some of those "pet names" for cards around your table?

Some I've heard.

Fluffy Puppy.
Billie Joe Armstrong
Pinup Gideon

A lot of people I know call Reckless Waif 'Scarlett' because the artwork resembles Scarlett Johansson. Other than that I can't think of many (except the ones that JackSlack mentioned) - there's ones I'm led to believe are very common like "FDL" and "Baby Jace" that I hear a lot.

More commonly I hear standard jokes made about certain cards, like in a cube we play regularly, it's typical for each person to announce that they're passing on the STD if they pass on Guard Gomazoa.

Quite funny.

It's not exactly a nickname, but I've managed to get everyone in my group to shout "BACKSTREETBOYS!" whenever a Welkin Tern appears in a game or out of a booster.

(It's a reference to an episode of the American "Whose Line is it Anyway")

The (alt art) Mayor of Avabruck has picked up the nickname Pullman because the picture is identical to the character of the same name from Mike Carey's graphic novel Unwritten
