I feel like there are some cards that have nicknames that I use instead of the proper name. “Thunder Boy” is AC/DC and the Bio-Charged Neutralizer is the proton pack. Any other fun ones?

To avoid confusion I tend to refer to the original Outfit cards by different names so they don’t share the name with their faction.
Law Dogs = Sheriff’s Office
Fourth Ring = Big Top
MCC = Morgan Estate
Sloan Gang = Whoops, how did this get in my deck
Also i exclusivley call Nicodemus “MAYOR Whateley” because “he earned that title fair and square and you will show him some respect!”

Most of the time dude and deed names end up getting shortened, same for some goods.
In a similar vein I’ve ended up with names for some often used abilities or moves. Here are a few off the top of my head:
Using Makaio’s ability is ‘performing legal black magic’.
Using the Ol’ Howard-haunted Railroad Station adjacent to your home to move just to trigger Morgan Stables card cycle is ‘doing the Station-Stables Shuffle’.
Likewise Phil Swinford’s trait firing is ‘The Swinford Shuffle’.

I like nicknames for dude’s abilities, too! I need to think of one for Luke, because his gets used all. The. Time.
Not exactly a card nickname, but an ability nickname…
I like to say that Arnold Stewart “goes fishing” for deeds when he uses his ability.
Oh, and Yagn’s Mechanical Skeleton is definitely a Gundam.
‘Travis’ and ‘Rico’ are often verbed during pre-game.
“Are you going to Travis? I’ll Rico.”
The only card I have a nickname for that I can think of off the top of my head is DJ Black Elk.

That is actually how you pronounce Valeria…
To me, Benjamin Washington is always Benji.
T’ou Chi Chow is announced as ‘The God of Bandits’ when he enters play, but I just go with Chow after that.
Occasionally, Hamshanks is referred to as ‘Shonky Ham’
