With the new season on the doorstep, I thought I would start this thread to gather all the nicknames we like to throw out during gamethreads and such.

I don't confess to know many but I think that is why we should do this so everyone knows who we are talking about.

I've taken the liberty of suggesting a few of my own.

Feel free to add new nicknames or ones that I have missed in the comment section and I'll add them if it can be agreed upon or I just forgot it.
