The Bowser - amazing capacity for liquids of the amber colour.
We also had a spate of girl's names - I was called Plum due to my accent, and given to me after I knocked down and stopped a bank robber .

When going through training knew of a bloke who unfortunately at some point had received serious burns to the face whilst involved in a car crash or something similar.
His course mates used to call him 'Toastie'.......not the most PC nickname really.

Had far too many drinks once with a Puma Pilot nicknamed "Beaker" ...
Yep ... that's him ... he was a F/O then
I think others have mentioned this chap before when his nickname followed him into his Airline career ...

I was nicknamed Taff whilst going through training because of my accent.... Might not seem odd, but I was from Cumbria born and bred..
I used to keep telling the guys until I realised that the Welsh girls at St Athans ( Rhonda Valley Commandos ) would't have anything to do with you if you were not Welsh.... So Taff I became and I enjoyed the delights that were on offer, much to the frustration of the rest of the course who didn't....boyo

A few nicknames I've come across over the years:
BUM - Brigade's Ugliest Man
Samsonite - so called because he was always carried by everyone else. See also Gerber - a useless tool that everyone carries.
FONC - Friend Of No C....
BUFFY - A certain postal Sgt on Telic 1 - Big Ugly Fat F....... Yeti
PORG - Person of Restricted Growth
FIGJAM - F... I'm Good Just Ask Me
And these were the more pleasant ones.........

Those who were at Brize around 1992 will remember the infamous 'Kelvin Rucksack'....
...an absolute zero carried by everyone at some time or other...
Also known as 'castor' - something which thinks it's a wheel, but is easily pushed around!
One of the co-piglets was known as 'TDLFCC' - That Deaf Little Fat....'chap' C***t**m.

For the amusement of newer members, perhaps some kind soul could provide links to the last few occasions that such a thread has been run ....
Really good original nominations welcome of course!

My first Sqn cdr "Flymo" - used to hover over his officers' desks (metaphorically, that is) and leave piles of crap to be cleared up. His deputy was called "Strimmer"

We had two Flt Lts named Miller on the squadron. One day the crew room phone rang and a female voice asked:
"Could I speak to Flt Lt Miller please? It's his wife" Upon being asked which Flt Lt Miller she wanted, she helpfully specified - "Oh Dusty Miller please!"
