The baby version of Chris inherited the latter nickname once he was born.
 * Maggot Neck - Another Television Without Pity nickname for Billie Jenkins. Her neck was... strange, to put it mildly.

DWO Whocast and Staggering Stories Podcast use "Vast Toffee" an anagram of his name missing out two letters (MN, deemed to stand (clutching at straws) for "Master of Nightmares".)

Then-new executive producer Bruce Kalish was blamed, but there's now evidence that longtime stunt choreographer, Koichi Sakamoto, is the actual culprit... The RPM equivalent (since Kalish left the job after the previous season) is "Ziggysplosion", after Ziggy's Lampshade Hanging of them in "Ranger Blue".
 * Zordon Era - The series from Mighty Morphin Power Rangers to Power Rangers in Space. Similarly, "Saban Era" for Mighty Morphin through Wild Force and "Disney Era" for Ninja Storm through RPM, based on which company produced the show (this may change a little with Saban taking the rights back).

 * The purple shirt occasionally worn by Sherlock on the show has been dubbed "The Purple Shirt of Sex". Sherlock's blue scarf is notorious enough that it need only be referred to as "The Scarf".

 * Stargate Universe
 * Vanessa James has thus far mainly been Fan Service, if occasionally self-aware Fan Service. Her fan nicknames tend towards things like "2nd Lt. Tits McGee".
 * GateFail2009 (or just GateFail) to refer to the whole series, resulting from die-hard fans upset about the lack of previously known characters, consistent mythology within the Stargate franchise, or the Soap Opera In Space! nature of the series as opposed to the sci-fi adventure format of SG-1 and SGA. As well as feminists complaining about...feministy stuff.
 * And, lest we forget, Battlegate Voyager 90210.
 * "Smurfs" is a commonly used name for the
 * Sergeant Greer's early apparent temper problems caused him to be referred to as Furious George.
 * Star Trek
 * Nero's time meddling- same concept as the Retroactive Cannon (ie. a force that erases things out of existance in a reboot), only strictly applied to Star Trek.
 * 38-of-D - Seven of Nine from Star Trek: Voyager. Refers to her most immediately striking physical feature, and no, we don't mean her Borg cybernetics. Variants include 2-of-2, 2x2 ("two by two"), and 10-of-10.
 * Also 6-of-9, when fans thought the new character would be Star Trek's long-promised gay character.

 * A number of nicknames originally coined by Chuck Sonnenberg on his show SF Debris have been adopted by certain fan communities:
 * Captain Mom, once again for Captain Janeway. Originally coined derisively towards the way Janeway micromanages various aspects of her ship, many fans use it positively to refer to her as the crew's matriarchal, warm leader.
 * The Good Shepherd, yet again referring to Captain Janeway, from the episode of the same name.
 * Janeway of Borg, referring to Janeway's tendency to pick up and "assimilate" alien crew members.
 * Captain Bipolar, mostly because midway through the third season, Janeway's command style changed without warning between episodes, due to inconsistent characterization.
 * And then, there's the Voyager itself: known primarily for resetting everything to status quo at the end of each episode, the ship became known as the HMS Reset Button. Janeway's My Way or the Highway attitude she often cops provides the HMS.
 * The Magic Meeting Room, and The Magic Conference Table, referring to the room and the prop where major characters gather to discuss the Problem of the Week and its solution. Particularly notable in the episode Twisted, where, in the absence of one, they gather a bunch of serving tables into an impromptu Magic Conference Table.
 * Duchess, referring to Captain Archer of Enterprise due to his apparent mental instability that could easily lead to his insisting on being called such. Typically applied by noting some big role Archer played in getting the crew into their current predicament, followed by "Nice going, Duchess!"
 * Strangely, this may have jumped into a completely unrelated series, where the character secret agent Sterling Archer's codename is "Duchess."
 * The mysterious "Humanoid Figure" who gives Silik his orders in the Temporal Cold War was dubbed "Future Guy" by him (seriously how many fannames has this guy come up with?). This name then became the fans name for the character before it became so popular that by the end of Enterprise's second season producers Rick Berman and Brannon Braga were also referring to him as Future Guy in interviews, as did Paramount's press release for "The Expanse". According to his review of Broken Bow (at least video version) he thinks that the sad part about the whole thing is that the name is derived from sarcasm.
 * Dustbuster - The phasers from Star Trek The Next Generation. The smaller, easily concealable version is called the "Cricket".
 * B&B, Bermaga, Beavis & Butthead - The Rick Berman/Bannon Braga writing team, most often seen on the later Star Trek series. This particular pairing has been accused of running the Trek franchise into the ground by a large portion of the fanbase. "Bermaga" is another Television Without Pity name.

 * Ryunosuke is occasionally given the nickname Marijuana Man as well, due to the fact that people unfamiliar with kanji may assume that his helmet's visor [[media:marijuanamannu1.jpg|looks like a cannabis leaf]].

 * Super Cooper - Derogatory term for Gwen. Has now begun to creep into other fandoms as a term for Creator's Pet or the Spotlight-Stealing Squad.
 * The Tudors
 * Thomas Boleyn is generally referred to as Papa Boleyn. Henry VII (not a character, but still discussed) is Papa Tudor. Katherine Howard is often called Kitty, while the soon-to-appear Katherine Parr is called Kate. These last two seem to have historical basis and are also a way of telling the last two Katherines, who were wives five and six, apart - not to mention distinguishing them from wife number one, Katherine of Aragon.
 * The West Wing
 * The Frog Prince -- Jean-Paul.
 * Mandyville -- where Mandy went after she was Put on a Bus with no explanation, and where other characters (Ainsley, Danny, Mallory) sometimes visited her. This one is sometimes applied to other shows, probably thanks to Television Without Pity.
