Unit nicknames with an attitude Avatar Enlargement: We've got the solution

In the same spirit of City names with an attitude I'm wondering who else nicknames their units, and as what?

For example:
Engingeers: Army Corps of Engineers
Riflemen: Army Reserve
Howitzers: Shock Troops
Spies: Special Agents (or CIA)
Cavalry and other decent older units: VFWs (Veterans of Foreign Wars)

after Automobile, I also refer to units like pikemen and archers as museum pieces or Wonder starters

I'm sure there are people with far more creative names than me

So, what's out there?

Support Apolyton buy from Amazon

Since you really can't assign name to units like you can to cities, I've never really thought about it... But I do have a name for opposing civ units... "TOAST"

Full PM-box? Change here!

Howitzers are Howies
A spy is "My Woman"
Horsemen = horses
Knites = horses
Cavalry, dragoons = horses
Diplomat is a "wannabe"
Sub = Red Button
Transport = Caravan ferry

Thats all I can think off the top of my head. To give you more would requir deeper thought... I am not ready for that yet.

See you in court.

Support Apolyton, buy Galactic Civilizations: Deluxe Edition

I called the militia in CivNet for "bug". Don't you think it looks like a bug?
