I agree we should have a separate thread for the nicknames.
Until then, I've already seen "Super Hippo", or just "The Hippo", "BigBus", "UglyBus"", "PuffedUpBus", and for the francophones "MéchantBus" (NastyBus).... not bad, actually, if you look at those nasty piggy eyes staring down at you.
I think BUFF and similar have already been trademarked by .... yes, the "Buff", of course.
As to "Fat Albert", I was always led to believe that was the 737, but it seems the monicker has moved to other aircraft, since.
