Drone nicknames

[LowCountryFlyer]

Are there any nicknames amongst sUAS flyers for their craft? It's common with manned aircraft but haven't heard too many for the unmanned stuff.

My current nicknames for the Mavic 2 are:

Flying Brick
Flying Potato
Baby HK (after Skynet's air force of VTOL human exterminators in the Terminator movies)
Cat terror
Little Killer

I also call the Phantom series:

Flying throwpillow
The $1000 doggie chew toy
The-thing-that's-stuck-in-the-neighbor's-tree

After the A-6B Intruder: Intruder 1,2 and 3. LOL! ?

I guess I could name the quiet Mavic 2 "Super Snooper" and the noisy Mavic Air "Blabbermouse". Are you old enough to remember them? LOL!

I like naming mine after military aircraft.

My P3P was Crusader after the RF8. My Mavic Pro was Osprey after the V22 and my Mavic 2 Pro is Raven, after the EF111.

I kind of broke tradition by not naming my M2P after a US Marine aircraft.
