    funny and insulting nicknames for bosses

    Ive been around since beta, so as a result Ive heard many funny and insulting nicknames for the various raid- and instance bosses we have been fighting over the years.
    But as is the way with such things the popularity of certain instances keeps changing as more and more new content is added and due to the influx of new players. Most of my current kin is Moria generation and later, many of them are ftp generation even. When I talk about HAM or rog or any of the other nicknames we had for Thaurlach or other bosses from the SoA era, most of em have no idea who Im referring to.
    Thats why Im making this topic, to preserve all those great nicknames we came up with over the past years for the future generations of players. Ofc by all means add your own as well, the bigger the list gets the better. Im especially interested to learn if certain names are used on multiple servers or if each server has its own names to insult bosses with ^^

    SoA era:
    Thaurlach: HAM (always written with capital letters, don't ask me why lol), rog
    Glathlirél: elf chick
    Udunion: mini rog
    Helgham: big Helgh, squid
    Mordirith: Mordy
    Amarthiel: iron lady

    Moria era
    Watcher: calamari, squid
    Turtle: soup, Norman
    Igash: Iggy
    Kranklûk: Cranky
    Gwathnor: fusion rog
    Mistress: Jabba, Missy, little miss floppy, yo momma (this one was very popular for nicknames LOL)

    Mirkwood era
    Sword hall bosses: fire dude, batgirl, fatso
    LT: cow or bird (both when referring to the fellbeast, our kin had no names for the LT itself oddly)
    Gorothul: C-3PO (because he was always so polite with his 'yes my lord')

    In their absense
    Coldbear: talking bear
    Ferndur: no nicknames that I know off, but standard someone would make a joke about having no dental in Saurons armies when we would reach his room.

    Isengard era
    Draigoch: chicken, KFC, beardy
    Orthanc lightning troll: pikachu
    Orthanc fire/frost giants: inflatable Dunlendings
    Orthanc acid boss: Homer Simpson
    Orthanc shadow orc: bonehead, I haz a bukot
    Saruman: beardy (just like Draigoch yeah, nicknames can be very confusing sometimes ^^), grandpa, gramps
    Troll in Roots of Fangorn instance: mini me troll
    Undurz in edge of Fangorn instance: axemurderinductionboss

    I've heard the F&F giants called Croissant and Sugar. Very tasty. Bukot is usually Bucket. Saruman gets called Sorryman or Scaryman.

    Saruman = Saruyawn, because everyone just gets more tired as they fight him.

    Saruman during the dramas in the outer wings - Michael Jackson/Jacko, he of many colors and the moonwalk.

    Sadly, the nicknames I've liked the most I can't post without getting an infraction.

    Re: funny and insulting nicknames for bosses

    Funny, on Windfola, I never heard Morskor, the Lieutenant of Dol Guldur's fell-beast referred to as anything but the chicken. I always referred to him as being fried when my burglar tripped him with my burg. His was, by far, the best flop from a trip, only being approached by the spiders in Limlight Gorge these days.

    He was always "The bird" for us.

    Other than what has already been listed and those which are unacceptable for public viewing.

    Saruman = Sourman.

    I want my "The Venomous" title back.

    The troll bosses were Laurel & Hardy
    The three Globasnaga Bosses were The Three Stooges
    Mistress and the Blind One were The Beauty and The Beast

    Vile Maw and Filikul
    Oh, and The Watcher is Mr. Sid and Nornuan the Soup.

    Interesting to see the difference in associations...
