Unit nicknames with an attitude

[Viktor Maximus]

I called the militia in CivNet for "bug". Don't you think it looks like a bug?

[Genghis Al]

Howitzers are Howies
A spy is "My Woman"
Horsemen = horses
Knites = horses
Cavalry, dragoons = horses
Diplomat is a "wannabe"
Sub = Red Button
Transport = Caravan ferry

Thats all I can think off the top of my head. To give you more would requir deeper thought... I am not ready for that yet.

See you in court.

Since you really can't assign name to units like you can to cities, I've never really thought about it... But I do have a name for opposing civ units... "TOAST"

Howies are "NEMESIS".

In the same spirit of <a href="http://apolyton.net/forums/Forum3/HTML/001213.html?date=05:55"> City names with an attitude</a> I'm wondering who else nicknames their units, and as what?

For example:
Engingeers: Army Corps of Engineers
Riflemen: Army Reserve
Howitzers: Shock Troops
Spies: Special Agents (or CIA)
Cavalry and other decent older units: VFWs (Veterans of Foreign Wars)

after Automobile, I also refer to units like pikemen and archers as museum pieces or Wonder starters

I'm sure there are people with far more creative names than me

So, what's out there?
