Topbunk: "... and since when has the 737-3/4/5 been the 'Classic'. The Classic always was the -200. Very hurt about the theft... ex Classic Fluf pilot"
Avionics people have called the 737-3/4/5, 757, 767 the Neo-Classics.

I think you are wrong. When there were no 737NG's, the -200 was the classic (or jurassic to some). I believe that the 'Classic' moniker was inherited by the -345 after the -200 disappeared from the Europwean scene.

Thunder Guppy. Ha ha, good one! In my neck of the woods the term "guppy" is almost exclusively used by the engineers.
Fluff, we were told, says Fat Little Ugly Flying F****r. Not "fellow" as far as I know. This applies to the -200 only. The -300/400/500 are known as "classics", or alternatively just by their numerical moniker, as it should be.
I heard the Germans called the -200 "ze tin mouse". Seen from the cockpit of a 747...
Happy landings!
