Amusing nicknames
"Slinky" - no real use or purpose, but brings a smile to your face when you push him down the stairs.
...no-one from the AAC has mentioned "Klang" yet.

Two old girlfriends....one was tagged as "Twin Pac"....for good reason.
The other was nicknamed "Strut Pump".....as any good Engineer knows why!

one thread on S America forum of PPRuNe mentions two brothers called 'torpedo'. One torpe, the other pedo. (torpe = clumsy or dim-witted, pedo either noun fart or adjective as sloshed/smashed/drunk, in case you don't do Spanish)

"three dogs". A helicopter examiner from the department mob in Adelaide some years ago, well everyone else had two dogs eh? a proper smart arse.
"centre peg" a name bestowed upon a rather long legged sheila whose boyfriend (a rather famous heli gingerbeer) had equally short legs, and a Harley. a most amusing sight at the traffic lights.
"MD" when it wasn't "CD", standing for mental defective or clinically dead, he was like that for years, another rather famous heli gingerbeer.

"Klang" - The noise the spade made when it hit her in the face!
"Sledge" - because he's always getting pulled by dogs...........
"ISM" - a crewman on 72 who was the "International **** Magnet" - even made me look good blah blah
"F££kwit" - because he was a complete F££kwit !

"Ahab" - he tended to go for the big girls
"Juice" - He was quite the lady killer (for those not from the States this is in reference to a highly publicised trial during the 1990s)

"Top off" a pilot who wont go anywhere without a full bag of gas, even if it is a 60 mile round trip inland VFR.
"Captain Crunch" a pilot who breaks stuff or is PIC on an aircraft when things get magically broken and he didn't see anything, hear anything or notice anything up to and including broken vent window sliders, missing fuel caps and mysteriously self inflating life vests. Has an annoying habit of grasping the interior plastic trim around the pilot's door door post and heaving his ample arse into the cockpit, crunching that nice brittle bell plastic to dust. Swears up and down it was like that when he did his pre flight. (HA!)
"Button boy" a pilot who will futz with every switch, knob, lever, setting, frequency, menu and widget in the aircraft because he is bored, obsessive compulsive or is just wired that way.

Another one for the (apparently common) guy who will always go one better:
Seven Toes ... if you had six, he'd have seven.....
And of course Kelvin Rucksack, the absolute zero carried by everyone, and finally, the RN beefer surname Sleman .... known as Splunk

It seemd like everybody in the RAAF had a nickname except for one bloke. It didn't matter how many times we tried to pin one on him, they just didn't stick. So we called him "Araldite" .......and that stuck.
An Engineer at CHC called "Ten-men". Because it would take that many other men to be as good as he was - just ask him.
The bike rack - an Accountant with one helicopter company that was so intent on impressing the CEO it was reckoned that he would drop his pants and bend over just to give the boss somewhere to park his bike.

"Captain Crunch" reminds me of someone I worked with:
'Passion Fingers' - everything he touched he f**ked.
Oh, and another,
'Charcoal' - an avionics bloke who was awarded the Distinguished Frying Cross by his mates. It was made of four blown fuses, not just blown but BLACK.

"earth" - Lowest potential.
"Jack" - cos he was only in it for himself.
"MAC" - Man's a C**t
"JCB" - Job Creating Bast@rd
The last three could have been the same person!
And finally - there was once a WO at Odiham we called "Interfere-RON" but not because he made things better!
