* [[CLAMP (Creator)|CLAMP]]

** [[Noodle People]] - The spindly and strangely-proportioned (even by ''anime standards'') character designs that appear in ''[[Code Geass]]'', ''[[Tsubasa]]'', and ''[[Xxx Holic (Manga)|Xxx Holic×××HOLiC]]'' which, while good on paper, can be prone to [[Off -Model|QUALITY]] shots when animated and are often possessed by people who should probably be more muscular given their physical ability.

** Not exactly a nickname, but...[[The Simpsons (animation)|"Nobody out-crazies Ophelia!"]]

* ''[[Darker Than Black (Anime)|Darker Thanthan Black]]''

*** Hobo Hei/Heibo - Hei in the second season, thanks to the [[Wild Hair]] and [[Perma -Stubble]].

*** Due to recent events, {{spoiler|he's [[De -Power|now just]] Chinese Batman}}.

*** He is also known by the fan name 'Soviet Burger Flash'; as his power is super speed and he works for the Russian government.

** Pinker than Loli - The second season, due to its forcing the protagonist Hei to share the spotlight with a [[Token Mini MoeLoli|little girl]] and [[Never Trust a Trailer|scans and trailers suggesting]] that the second season would be more of a [[Slice of Life]] comedy.

** Japanese Lesbian Catwoman - [[Bifauxnen]] Contractor Mina Hazuki, both because similarities to Hei as a [[Stoic]] [[Badass|asskicker]], and because of, {{[[media-|:sexyaftertaste.JPGjpg| well...}} ]]

* ''[[Death Note (Manga)|Death Note]]''

** Lighto - When the fights between [[Spell My Name Withwith an "S"|people who used Raito and people who used Light]] got too volatile, some people decided to split the difference. Another common variation is 'Laito'.

** Martin - A lot of the [[Deviant ART]] community is fond of refering to Teru Mikami's fountain pen of death as "Martin".

** L-quiorra - L, because he looks and acts like Ulquiorra from [[Bleach (Manga)|Bleach]].

* ''[[Digimon (Franchise)|Digimon]]''

** Cigarette Lighter Man - Agent Yamaki of ''[[Digimon Tamers (Anime)|Digimon Tamers]]''. Before he was given a name, all the audience knew was that he obsessively flicked his lighter.

** Marsh-Malo - MaloMyotismon/BelialVamdemon from ''[[Digimon Adventure 02 (Anime)|Digimon Adventure 02]]''. So named because of his lackluster performance (mostly [[Evil Gloating|standing and ranting]] without actually doing much) and then his [[Talking the Monster Toto Death|very undignified end.]]

** Takatomon - Agumon in ''[[Digimon Savers (Anime)|Digimon Savers]]'', due to being voiced by Brian Beacock, who also voiced Takato in ''[[Digimon Tamers (Anime)|Digimon Tamers]]''. Comes from Guilmon's actual nickname for Takato.

[[Oddly -Named Sequel 2: Electric Boogaloo|The "02" is actually short for "2002,"]] the year the story takes place, however, although they probably chose that year because it ended in two. Likewise, ''Tamers'' and ''Frontier'' are "03" and "04," although this isn't used as often as it used to be, as they're [[Alternate Universe|separate continuities]] from the Adventure-verse.

*** On a similar note, because ''[[Digimon Xros Wars: theThe Young Hunters Leaping Through Time]]'' is an [[Overly Long Title]], the season is mostly known as either "Hunters" or "Xros Hunters".

** In the Japanese fandom, Masaru has gained Digimon status as Masarudaimon, thanks both to his returning appearances in [[Digimon Xros Wars: theThe Young Hunters Leaping Through Time|Hunters]] letting him beat the tar out of Mega Digimon like nobody's business and to his own name lending itself to the Digimon naming scheme.

* ''[[DragonballDragon Ball]]''

** Kushami - Blonde, gun-crazy Lunch. Coined as shorthand by Curtis Hoffmann in his early summaries of manga chapters. It's Japanese for "sneeze," because Lunch changes personalities and hair color whenever she sneezes. Has reached the point where [http://www.daizex.com/guides/rumors/characters.shtml parts of the fandom are convinced] that it's actually her name.

** Mirai (Trunks) - For Future Trunks, "Mirai Briefs" in some fanfiction when he returns to the normal timeline and lives with the 'other' Trunks. Crosses with Gratuitous Japanese.

*** As of [[Wham! Episode|chapter 104]] "{{spoiler|Godfather}}" has become used to describe {{spoiler|[[Bishonen Line|his new form]]}}, [[It Makes Sense in Context|for reason which are obvious in the context of the chapter]].

** Hoju: {{spoiler|Hohenheim's late first son in [[Fullmetal Alchemist (Animeanime)|the anime]], whom he tried to resurrect, with the result that he created Envy}}. Short for {{spoiler|Hohenheim Junior}}.

** Moofy - {{spoiler|Wrath}} of [[Fullmetal Alchemist (Animeanime)|the anime]] had no name in canon for a time, and gained the nickname from his fuffy hair.

** Mr. Monopoly - Since Brotherhood this is officially the nickname of the Silver Alchemist. The resemblance is uncanny.

*** [[Michael Jackson|Smooth Criminal]] or [[Blaz BlueBlazBlue|Terumi]] have recently surfaced from watching the dub, seeing as how Kimblee is, well, a massive [[Troll]] like Terumi,

** "Terminarcher" - In [[Fullmetal Alchemist (Animeanime)|the first anime]], Archer, an unpleasant military officer (who only exists in that telling) is made into a suspiciously advanced cyborg after having half his face (or half his head, it's hard to tell) blown off.

** "The anime" -- If—If someone refers to "the anime" they're definitely talking about the first ''[[Fullmetal Alchemist (Animeanime)|Fullmetal Alchemist]]'' anime.

** Batshit Ryoma - [[The Hero|Ryoma Nagare]], specifically in the OVAs, who takes [[Hot -Blooded|Hot Bloodedness]] to the point of certifiable insanity. The ''Armageddon'' version is the definitive version, and typically the version people mean by "Batshit Ryouma".

* ''[[GE-Good Ending|GE - Good Ending]]''

** [[Fate/stay Stay Night (Visual Novel)night|Shirou]] - Utsumi, both for his looks and personality

* ''[[Gintama (Manga)|Gintama]]''

* ''[[Happiness! (Visualvisual Novelnovel)|Happiness!]]''

** The Haruhi Everyone Forgot - Haruhi Kamisaka: Despite being the main heroine of the show, pretty much no one remembers her or even what the show was about, if it wasn't for [[Wholesome Crossdresser|Jun's]] unexpected popularity as a ''[[Unsettling Gender Reveal|trap]] [[Guilty Gear (Video Game)|on par with Bridget]]'', the show would have pretty much been forgotten by now.

* ''[[Hayate the Combat Butler (Manga)|Hayate the Combat Butler]]''

** [[Xxx Holic (Manga)×××HOLiC|Watanuki]] [[Code Geass|vi Britannia]]: The Puppet Butler voiced by Jun Fukuyama.

Likewise, his recently-revealed unnamed mother has quickly gained the moniker "Fluffette". She is also known as Sessh-mom, for obvious reasons.

** Sota, Kagome's younger brother, is also sometimes jokingly referred to as "Soda".

** Kyonichi/Kyuuichi - Yuuichi, for having similar looks/personality and the [[Tomokazu Sugita|same seiyuu]] as Kyon of ''[[Haruhi Suzumiya (Literature)|The Melancholy Of Haruhi Suzumiya]]''. The shared VA is used for a [[Shout -Out]] gag in ''[[Kanon]]'' at one point, with Yuuichi suddenly narrating like Kyon out loud.

*** Vongola is Italian for "Clam"

*** 69-Mukuro.

{{quote| Reborn "Its apparently called Hibird."<br />

*** [[Tsundere|Tsun]][[Cinderella (Literaturenovel)|derella]] - Kagami, from the same scene.

** Fang-Tan - Misao Kusakabe, in due part to her [[Cute Little Fangs]]. Incidentally, this is also the fan nickname of a ''[[Haruhi Suzumiya (Literature)|Haruhi Suzumiya]]'' character mentioned below.

** Gaogaigar-tan - Subaru Nakajima of ''[[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha]] StrikerS'', due to the ''[[Gao Gai GarGaoGaiGar]]'' references in her transformation sequence and attacks. There is a video of her transformation to the Gaogaigar transformation music [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nHpKU3apXQE here].

** Loli-Rider - Lutecia of ''[[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha]] StrikerS'', due to her resemblance to Rider of ''[[Fate/stay Stay Night (Visual Novel)night|Fate Stay Night]]''.

** Cardiche, aka the Fatemobile - Fate Testarossa-Harlaown's black convertible in ''[[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha StrikersStrikerS]]'', So named because its black coloration and yellow hubcaps gives it a more than passing resemblance to [[Empathic Weapon|Fate's Intelligent Device]] Bardiche. Unusual, because Fate's powers already allow her to travel quickly and because it wasn't an actual [[Theme Naming|Testarossa]].

*** Ditto Hückebikes, the [[Cool Bike|Cool Bikes]]s that the members of the Hückebein family ride in ''Force''.

** Hayate's Lesbian Army - The 6th Mobile Division; Hayate's in charge, it's an [[ImprobablyFundamentally Female Cast]], and there's a whole lotta [[Les Yay]].

*** The Japanese fandom has apparently dubbed him "Inju" (Sex Beast) because of his [[Does This Remind You of Anything?|unfortunately-shaped ferret form]] and his status as one of the few males in an [[ImprobablyFundamentally Female Cast]]. Likewise, Chrono has somehow morphed into "Erono".

** Ginga Drill Break(er), for Ginga Nakajima, due to an [[This Is a Drill|attack]] she uses that's reminiscent of ''[[Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann (Anime)|Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann]]''.

* ''[[Mai-Otome (Anime)|Mai-Otome]]''

** Batman - Sara Gallagher the Otome Pillar, from the tendency of the Pillars' outfits to look like those of American [[Superhero|Superheroes]]es.

* ''[[Manabi Straight!]]''

** Captain Shikinami - Asuka from ''Rebuild/ Evangelion 2.0'', reflecting her new surname and military rank. Mainly used by [[They Changed It, Now It Sucks|those who view her as her own]] [[Replacement Scrappy]].

** ''[[Ah! My Goddess (Manga)|Ah, My]] [[Eldritch Abomination|Elder Goddess]]'', and variations.

** [[Death Note (Manga)|''Fap Note'']] for the manga itself, as some initial scenes and mannerisms of Kurosawa make it seem like a parody of ''[[Death Note (Manga)|Death Note]]'' with fapping.

* ''[[One Piece (Manga)|One Piece]]''

*** And since they are both [[Determinator|Determinators]]s, that would technically make them the [[Incredibly Lame Pun|Tenacious D's]].

** ''[[FU NimationFUNimation|FUN]] Piece'' - The FUNimation dub, because it brought back the fun of the original series after [[Four Kids4Kids! Entertainment|4Kids]] [[Macekre|tore it to shreds]].

** [[Spell My Name Withwith an "S"|Zolo]] - Commonly used when discussing things that Zoro did in the 4kids dub as a way of distinguishing him from the original Zoro. For example, "Zolo eats a cookie in the scene where Zoro eats a rice ball".

** [[A Father to His Men|Papabeard]] - Whitebeard because, well, [[Exactly What It Says Onon the Tin|you know...]]

** [[Mega Man (Videovideo Gamegame)|Mega]]beard - Blackbeard {{spoiler|after stealing Whitebeard's power on top of his own.}}

** The Other Haruhi - Haruhi Fujioka, so named as her anime was made around the same time as a [[Haruhi Suzumiya (Literature)|more well-known Haruhi.]]

** Haruhi Potter - Haruhi in her first appearance, for a [[Memetic Outfit]] that made her look like a certain [[Harry Potter (Literaturenovel)|Boy Who Lived]].

* ''[[Puella Magi Madoka Magica (Anime)|Puella Magi Madoka Magica]]''

** Green-haired [[K-On!|Mugi]] or just "Green Mugi" - Hitomi.

** QB, [[Off -Model|Coobie]] - Kyubey.

** [[Hidamari Sketch|Chidamari Sketch]] - the entire series. <ref>Chidamari means "puddle of blood." This was originally from ''[[Hidamari Sketch]]'' when a character jokingly made up as one of the nicknames of the eponymous rental apartment building. This was promptly applied to this series, due to its content and the fact that character designs for this work was made by ''[[Hidamari Sketch]]'''s mangaka [[Ume Aoki]].</ref>

** Condom-chan - Kyouko, the long red-haired girl in the intro because of the... thing she has in her mouth. (Which seems to actually be one of those [https://web.archive.org/web/20070304191427/http://www.pinukim.net/pics/image2_icepops.jpg ice tube popsicle things]).

** [[Moe|Moemura]]mura/Megahomu - {{spoiler|the [[Meganekko]]}} Homura {{spoiler|during the earlier loops in episode 10.}}

** Homu[[Rambo|rambo]]/Hommando - Homura, whenever she's at her most [[More Dakka|dakka-iest]].

* ''[[QueensQueen's Blade]]''

** "Vagina Blaster" - Melpha's Holy Poses, due to the fact she need to be in a... ''very'' sexy pose to use that attack.

* ''[[Ranma One Half½]]''

** MADMs or Martial Arts Death Machines - Explicitly, the high-powered martial artists in the series, due to the insane amount of damage they can dish out, insane amount of damage they can ''absorb'' without injury, astonishing speed (past the speed of sound in some cases), and, naturally, staggering combat skills. Differs from Nerima Wrecking Crew in that the latter can potentially include any character involved in the mayhem; MADMs tend to include only the more "serious" combatants. Of course, precisely "''who"'' those characters are isn't agreed on, but a general consensus would be (of the main characters) the [[Old Master|Old Masters]]s and [[Miniature Senior Citizens]] Cologne and Happosai, Ranma Saotome, Ryôga Hibiki, and Mousse. They also might add either or both of Shampoo and [[Unlucky Childhood Friend|Ukyô]] [[Cute Bruiser|Kuonji]] to the selection, as both girls have pulled off feats that are even more impressive than [[Tsundere|Akane]] [[Cute Bruiser|Tendô]], though less impressive than those of the guys. Of the various [[Villain of the Week|temporary challengers]], you have Herb, Mint and Lime of the Musk, as well as Ryû Kumon and, in the anime, Princes Kirin and Tôma.

** Super Horse - the horse from the [[Filler]] episode where he makes a series of spectacular [[Horse Jump|Horse Jumps]]s that would make a motorcycle jealous.

** "Inner Senshi" and "Outer Senshi" - Fandom terms to describe the major [[Cast Herd|cast division]] via analogy with the planets. The series never specifically uses the terms, especially because Jupiter is included in the former so they can have a [[Five -Man Band]]. Much debate can be had from these terms, especially because the series does in fact give names to two of the groups, and the latter group of four is actually called the "Senshi of the Outer Solar System".

** Pippi - So named because of the way her braids stick out. The bossy youkai girl Goku, Gojyo, and Hakkai live with (and are kinda employed by) after her village's [[Bedouin Rescue Service]] saves them. She and Goku seemed to have a ''thing'' ({{spoiler|and kissed}}), so [[Yaoi Fangirl|certain]] [[Fan Dumb|fans]] desperately hope the fact that she has [[No Name Given]] means she isn't important. Barring that, there are [[Epileptic Trees|epileptic saplings]] that Goku only liked her because her attitude reminded him of Sanzo, or the way a few wisps of her hair fall in her face subconsciously reminded him of his platonic [[Forgotten Childhood Friend]], Nataku, because [[Het Is Ew]].

* ''[[Saki (Mangamanga)|Saki]]''

** Majin Fuu- a pun on a fat ''[[DragonballDragon Ball]]'' character (Majin Buu)- it references the times where Fuu eats so much that she swells up like a balloon.

* ''[[Sayonara, Zetsubou Sensei-sensei]]''

** Anony-tan = Meru Otonashi. She is called that because she likes to text abusive messages much like Anonymous (4chan) is known to do.

** Opti-Miss = Kafuka Fuura. She has this disturbing ability to come up with positive explanations for anything that should have a negative connotation to it.

** Perfect-tan = Kitsu Chiri. She demands that everything must be done properly and has an obsession with having everything equal.

** "Super Chiri" - Used to describe an incident from an episode of Zoku wherein Chiri became [[Attack of the Fifty 50-Foot Whatever|very tall]] and fought off an alien invasion.

* ''[[School Days (Visual Novel)|School Days]]''

*** Minato himself is [[Death Note (Manga)|L]].

** Hecate, a female Tomogara, is often called "Orgasm Girl" on Youtube, thanks to a scene of her and [[MacGuffin Girl|Yuuji]]... synchronizing. It sure looked (and sounded) like [[Does This Remind You of Anything?|something entirely different...]].

** [[Lady Gaga (Music)|Lady Gaga]] - Mrs. Kirishiki. Their [http://img529.imageshack.us/img529/7597/1289011748262.jpg resemblance is uncanny].

** Dr. [[House (TV series)|House]] - Toshio.

* ''[[So Ra No woWo To]]''

** Waffles -- GopherWaffles—Gopher. Somebody on one of the communities mentioned the multilingual pun, and now...there's 4koma where Gopher is played by a waffle. (Does this make any pairing involving Waffles a [[Cargo Ship]]?)

** Korbo - Holo, due to a scene in the anime where we see her name on paper in such sloppy handwriting that it can be read as "Korbo". [[Spell My Name Withwith an "S"|As if her name wasn't already confusing enough...]]

** Shaft Tilt - Curious head tilt/neck twist/AsideGlance [https://web.archive.org/web/20141221044000/http://www.atalude.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/headtilt.jpg combo] that would result in [[Real Life]] humans breaking their necks; common in [[Studio Shaft]] [[Anime]].

** Shaft, used as a verb: Various [[Off -Model]] and [[Placeholder Titles]] from this studio due to schedule issues, which are usually [[Better Onon DVD|corrected on DVD releases]].

* ''[[Strawberry Panic (Light Novel)!|Strawberry Panic]]!''

** "Hory Froating Head-sama", for series head honcho Shoji Kawamori no less. This one originated on the [[Macross World]] message boards, thanks to a gag picture sent from [[Anim EigoAnimEigo]] celebrating the completion of the remastering of Macross -- itMacross—it was of a couple of [[Anim EigoAnimEigo]] staffers holding up one of the DVDs as an oversized head of Kawamori looked on, wreathed in a halo.

* ''[[Haruhi Suzumiya (Literature)|Suzumiya Haruhi]]''

** O-Haruhi-[[Honorifics|sama]] - Suzumiya Haruhi, by analogy with Oyashiro-sama, the god worshipped in the village in ''[[Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni (Visual Novel)|Higurashi no Naku Koro Nini]]''.

** Bagloli or Loli[[Girl in Aa Box|-in-a-Bag]]: Kyon's sister, from a [https://web.archive.org/web/20141103122047/http://lh5.ggpht.com/_D_LCDE4LIgw/RkQ_GSsfdaI/AAAAAAAAALg/jbfC9PgxjvY/s800/loli+ in+ a+ bag%2Bin%2Ba%2Bbag.jpg motivational poster], which comes fromefrom a scene in "Remote Island Syndrome".

** Harutards - Harsh name for a Haruhi fan from [[Fan Hater|Fan Haters]]s.

[[Ascended Meme|Ascended]] when the official English manga and light-novel translations used it.

** TCCP and TSCP for the Computer Club President and the [[Student Council President]]. These were popularized by ''[[You Got Haruhi Rolled (Fanfic)|You Got Haruhi Rolled]]''

** Bruce Ironstaunch - The fan nickname for a single crowdgoer that gives [[Bicep -Polishing Gesture|an arm gesture]] that is meant to be supportive, but to westerners comes off as meaning "fuck you!" {{spoiler|to Rossiu after the latter announces the decision to execute Simon to the masses}}.

** The Professor - Reite, the group's mechanic/chief engineer, thanks to her limitless skill with machinery, possibly in reference to the character on ''[[GilligansGilligan's Island]]''.

** [[Beam Spam]] McMuppet - The fan nickname for Attenborough, the [[Gonk]] gunner of the various [[Cool Ship|Cool Ships]]s of the series, who is a big fan of the tactic. "HASHAAAAA!"

** Lulussiu and Spinsimon - Two fan names for Rossiu and Simon after the [[Time Skip]] coined from [[Game FAQsGameFAQs]] after the in-turn fan nicknames for [[Code Geass|Lelouch and Suzaku]], since both pairs of characters share the same English voice actors and, after the [[Time Skip]], similar actions and relationships.

** Star Tits - Yoko in her [[Memetic Outfit|Chouginga outfit]]. Seriously, [[http://randomc.animeblogger.net/image/Gurren%20Lagann/Gurren<!-- 20Lagann20%20Lagann%20-%2023%20-%20Yoko.jpg look at that thing]]. -->

** Captain [[Rated Mfor"M" for Manly|GAR]]lock - the alternate-future Simon who appeared in the first episode's prologue, named so for his perceived manliness.

** Mayor Obama - The as of yet unnamed Mayor of Sternbild, due to his uncanny resemblance to the current U.S. President.

** In the audio dramas and other side materials, Barnaby occasionally detaches himself from his default [[Ice King]] persona to mess with his fellow heroes (usually Karina) -- just for the hell of it. This version of Barnaby is called [[Troll|Trollaby]]aby by the fans.

* ''[[ToA AruCertain Majutsu noMagical Index]]''

** "Raildex" is [[The Verse]] for "To[[A AruCertain KagakuScientific NoRailgun|A Certain Scientific '''Rail'''gun]]''" and "''To AruA MajutsuCertain NoMagical In'''dex'''''"

* ''[[Upotte!!]]!!''

* ''[[Utawarerumono (Video Game)|Utawarerumono]]''

** Carrier - Karura, a reference to the ''[[StarcraftStarCraft]]'' unit made in a fansub and popularized by [http://lurkmore.com/wiki/index.php?title=Carrier_has_arrived a shopped doujin page.] "Carrier has arrived."

* ''[[Witchblade (Animeanime)|Witchblade]]''

** MILFBlade - Masane Amaha, [[Hot Shounen Mom|single mother]] and heroine.

* ''[[Yami to Boushi Toto Hon no Tabibito]]''

* ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh!]]''

** Yami - Yugi's "other self", the Egyptian Pharaoh. Oddly enough, the English dub also uses this term and "Big Yugi" for the ''implied'' distinction, although canonically, it [[Dub -Induced Plot Hole|probably shouldn't be used]].

* ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! GX]]''

*** Jellyfish, also for his hair. Add Yuusei as Crabhead and Yuugi as Starfish and the invertebrate trio is complete.

* ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! 5 Ds5D's]]''

** JACK ATLAS - When ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! 5 Ds5D's|Yu-Gi-Oh! 5Ds]]'' was first announced and well into its airing schedule, for unknown reasons the fandom spelled his name in all capital letters. That fad has mostly died out now, though.

** The trend has resurfaced, along with the new nickname ATLAS PUNCH, thanks to his recent tendency to go around and punch someone's lights out [[Once Per Episode]].

** Rainbow Road: For the special kinds of roads dueled on in episode 26 and 64. A name taken from the [[Mario Cart]] series's track.

** Haranimation: For the animation done by Kennichi O'Hara.

** Jack's Wheel of Fortune is starting to be called the Wheel of Misfortune because he crashes or falls off his bike far more then any other duelist in the series. People now have running bets on how long it will take him to injure himself again.

** Many of the Zoids themselves are referred to with shortened or cutsie-fied versions of their official names - Gilvader = Gilvy, Gojulas Giga = Giggles, and so on. Gildragon - a white/blue/gold recolor of the black/pink/purple Gilvader - is referred to as Gildy, or as Mrs. Gilvader due to its "prettier" color scheme.

*** Besides the obvious "Gungy", the Gungyalado is also known as "Trogdor" after the ''[[Homestar Runner (Web Animation)|Homestar Runner]]'' chracter that it resembles.

*** While Western release names are often used, the Merda is almost invariably referred to by its UK-release name, "Hellrunner", even in reference to Japanese versions. This could be because [[Spell My Name Withwith an "S"|nobody can actually agree on the proper transliteration of its name]] (Merda/Merder/Mardar/Muda/etc.) and might also confuse it with the similarily-named Malder. (Or because it's uncomfortably close to the word for "shit" in several Romance languages.) The English-language version of ''Zoids Saga 2'' actually used that name... though that translation was [[Blind Idiot Translation|full of other bizarre moments]].

*** The Murasame Liger earned the nickname "Lump Liger" amongst the model-building sections of the community due to the fact that the model came mostly pre-built -- iebuilt—ie, a Lump. The Hayate Liger (based on the same frame) was nicknamed "Brick Liger" becuse of its bright red colour - and the fact that the toy ended up looking like a brick.

*** Due to a ridiculous number of customized Zoids based on the Geno Saurer and Geno Breaker appearing in the GBA game ''Zoids Saga'' -- as—as well as in fanfiction and online [[RPG|RPGs]] -- alls—all of which share the "Geno" prefix, any such custom is referred to (in some circles, anyway) as a Genothingy.

*** The last four episodes of the first anime series, ''Chaotic Century'', were known among fans as the Final Four (presumably after [http://en.[wikipedia.org/wiki/Final_four:Final four|a sports term]]). During its initial run on [[Cartoon Network]], the series abruptly cut off just before the airing of these episodes and started over from the beginning; when this second run reached the cut-off point of the first run, the network aired the last episodes in a two-hour block, explicitly referring to them as the Final Four.

* Anyone named Keiichi, such as the protagonists from ''[[Ah My Goddess (Manga)|Ah! My Goddess]]'' and ''[[Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni (Visual Novel)|Higurashi no Naku Koro Nini]]'', will often be referred in the show and by some fans as K1, which would still be pronounced as Keiichi in Japanese.
