The MD11 in the beginning was jokingly referred to as MD41… 41 being the IATA delay code for technical problems.

The long DC8’s (61/63) were known as “Dizzy Eights” as they had quite interesting qualities in turbulence.

The DHC Dash 8 as well as the Saab 2000 had the questionable reputation as the worlds largest vibrators.

The Porsche like MD-80 will always be the Mad Dog to its crew.

It is a term of endearment mostly heard in France, where the cult of the jojo (aka cagette à pommes) holds its rightful place well above that of the catholic church.
