Aircraft Nicknames

While working i was told to "Follow The Guppy," obviously referring to the 737. Made me wonder what other nicknames are out there for other aircraft.

What are your favorites?

"Follow Theodore".

Not really an airplane though. But it works.

I Love it!

At UA, the 747 is the whale, 777s are bigfoot.

I remember reading TWA had pig-themed nicknames for their 727s. "swine divine", "Ms. Piggy" and so on.
