In ATC we developed a habit of referring to ATP's as SKODA's! The habit was caught from certain aircrew who announced their aircraft type on initial contact as "Skoda of the Skies" That practice diminished after, it was rumoured, Michael Bishop announced that any Midland pilot doing so faced "instant dismissal!" Any truth in that?
