I thought it might be good starting of a thread about tank/AFV nicknames, here is a starter;

Its not quite a tank but a very important armored vehicle (which should be in the collection Admin)

M113

The M113 has never received an official name, but has received a variety of nicknames over the years. The ARVN called it the "Green Dragon"; the Swiss referred to it as the "Elefantenrollschuh" or elephants' roller-skate. The Germans called it the "Schweinewürfel" or pig cube. U.S. troops tended to refer to the M113 simply as a "track" or an ACAV. The Israeli official name for the M113 is "Bardelas" (Cheetah) but the troops call it "Zelda" (named after an armored addition). The Australian Army refers to its M113A1s as "Buckets," and the modified M113A1 fitted with 76 mm turrets as "Beasts". In the Norwegian army it is commonly referred to as the "Vietnam Dumpster". Among Danish soldiers it is often called "Dåsen" meaning "The (tin)Can", while Greek Soldiers call it "Papaki" meaning "The young duck". The Spanish army called it the official name TOA (Transporte Oruga Acorazado). Another nickname, "Zippo", is actually reserved for the M132 Armored Flamethrower, which is based on the M113. The Norwegians usualy calls this as "Jævla møkka vogn" or "The fridge" refering to how cold it can get in arctic warfare.

One individual began an online proposal to get the U.S. Army to assign the M113 the official name "Gavin," after Gen James M. Gavin, started in 1995. The proposal has never gained traction. The current U.S. manufacturer of the vehicle, BAE, refers to the vehicle only as the M113 on their website promoting it
