Piccolo - Pickle-O, Green Diesel
Krillin and Tien - Paradox Brothers
Nappa - Big Show
Oolong - Porky
Bardock - Bardock the Reowned Scientist, Bardock the Drill Sergeant

Black - Bizarro, Turles
No, No, It's fine. I am not bothered by this at all.

I mean. At least you didn't say "Evil Goten".

Bulma, Yamucha, Puar - The pretty one, the strong one, the one with the weird power
Freeza & the Ginyus - A cold one with the boys
Boo - Kirby's creepy uncle
Piccolo - Captain Cucumber
Pilaf, Mai, and Shu - Jonathan, Warren, and Andrew
General Blue - Warner Bros. cartoon without its original title card

I will be rather pleased if anyone gets those last two.
The point of Dragon Ball is to enjoy it. Never lose sight of that.

Think; what group does General Blue serve under? Perhaps imagine how its name might change if Blue was in charge instead.

Now think Looney Tunes.

I don't really do nicknames, but I occasionally think of Vegeta as "ol veggie boy". Perhaps because Buuhan actually calls Vegito "veggie boy" in the dub at one point (or am I just going nuts?). And also because Recoome makes a joke about vegetables in his garden when he pulls Vegeta out of the ground by the leg after slamdunking him in head first.

And I've gotten in the habit of calling Piccolo "Big Green" sometimes just because why not.

I weirdly appreciate this topic because it reminds me of old DBZ fansites from the early 2000's where they'd have weird and ridiculous "Humor" pages.

I call Piccolo Big Green as well. I call Dende "Little Green"

                              The only character I ever gave a nickname was Goku Black as 'Tullece' because it feels like a rehash of Tullece in canon form (as many fans love it whether it's canon or not). Oh, and Jiren as "Inbred Cell". :P

                              Edit: The female Broli from DBS (Kale, Kaulifa or whatever her name is) as Female Broli.
