Add yours here.
For example, what famous asshole recently got the nickname "Bunkerboy".
But this thread can apply to any topic person, event, nation, building, state ect ect ect. Ask any question about what gets a nickname/catch phrase.
I'll start. Long before current terminology drugging someone was known as "blanking, them a blank."?

‘Slipping them a Mickey.’ But that’s neither a nickname nor a catchphrase. It’s a euphemism.

‘Going like a bat out of Hell’, but again, that’s not a nickname, not a catchphrase.

Yes on JAG. Half of the pot question, the other is "fatty".
Any chance we’ll be getting to nicknames and catchphrases soon?
