Line 82:
* Brian, the floor manager in ''[[Extract]]'', refers to almost all of his subordinates as "Dinkus", with the one exception being a character he calls "Forklift Dinkus" or "Boy Genius".
* [[Iron Man]] does it a lot in ''[[The Avengers (2012 film)|The Avengers]]''.
** To be exact, Captain America is "Old Man" (who is technically 70+ years old), as well as "Capsicle" (due to his status as a [[Human Popsicle]]). Thor is "[[Point Break]]" (because of his long blond hair and beard). Hawkeye is "[[The Lord of the Rings|Legolas]]" (being an archer). Loki is "Reindeer Games" (due to the helmet) and "Rock of Ages" (due to his regalia). Loki's staff is "the Glowstick of Destiny" (which glows and mind controls people).
* In both the movie and series of Disney's ''[[Hercules (1997 film)|Hercules]]'', Hades had a tendency to give people nicknames.
* In ''[[An American Tail]]'', Tony Toponi immediately thinks up a new name for Fievel once learning his name, apparently finding it too foreign-sounding.
