Yes, we referred to our B737-200s and second hand 500s as scuds because we were never certain where they would actually land.
The B757 was the flying snake. Very obvious if you wondered to the rear galley on a positioning flight. See the flight deck door and now you don't, see it again and off it goes to the right this time. Amazing flexibility.
The B747 is simply the Queen of the skys.
The BAE 146/RJ100s were hair dryers.
NB, forgot to mention the dear old B767 which was referred to, unfairly, as the coal burner.
