OK, just doing a quick survey, out of curiosity's sake--
I know a lot of pro sports teams have "derogatory" versions of their team names that their fans call them when they're not performing well--somewhat humorous nicknames that are based on their actual team name. These generally aren't names that other teams' fans call them--they're names that their own fans call them semi-affectionately. Examples are:
Cincinnati Bengals > Bungles
Kansas City Chiefs > Chefs
Green Bay Packers > P@ckers
Minnesota Vikings > Viqueens
Minnesota Twins > Twinkies
Minnesota Timberwolves > Timberpuppies
Minnesota Wild > Mild
What are some of the other more humorous names that people in your home areas call your hometown teams when they do poorly?
