* Many of the trope names listed here and on [[The Other Tropes Wiki]] could ultimately be considered fan nicknames, or at least fan nicknames for literary conventions established elsewhere when applied to a specific show, genre, or situation.
* The Blue Hell: applied to either Twitter or [[Tumblr]], the level of derogatoriness depending on whenever is said by the users of said sites or by bystanders.
* Crapatalk for Tapatalk, a bulletin board/forums hosting site which bought out and absorbed many other smaller, independent hosts like Yuku and ezBoard starting in the 2010s. They did this with the express intent of forcing advertising onto every page while making no more than a token, slapdash effort to translate the oldacquired boards into Tapatalk's native system (and often losing content from the imported boards in the process while disavowing any responsibility for losing data). It was so bad that someone wrote a [https://github.com/labster/taparip perl/sqlite utility] to rescue content from a Tapatalk board and put it in a form that could be easily translated to another board host.

Line 85:
* The ''[[Downfall (film)|Downfall]]'' parody meme has a lot of these. Hitler himself is often called "Dolfy" by fans, Burgdorf has the fan nickname of "Burger-Dork", and Goebbels' nickname "Skeletor" probably started as one of these before actually becomming an [[In-Series Nickname]].
* ''[[Die Anstalt]]:'' Lyall for {{spoiler|the wolf inside Dolly. For [[Meaningful Name]] bonus points, it means "shield wolf".}}
* Less a nickname than an alternate spelling, many ''[[Helluva Boss]]'' fans have taken to using "Blitzø" over "Blitzo" as a reminder that [[Running Gag|the "O" is silent]].
 
* ''[[Worm]]'': Particularly in the ''Worm'' fanfiction community, "Queenie" for the Queen Administrator shard.
