Ask HN: Workplace nicknames

A former colleague of mine was nicknamed "screen saver" by their subordinates, because they were prone to doze off during meetings unless kept directly engaged.

What interesting workplace nicknames have you come across?

    In practice, it seems like most of these would be negative or detrimental to the culture. I'd love to hear examples of positive nicknames. I’m guess is that they’re less likely.
