FeeBay, JetScum, Vodafail and other funny or adverse nicknames for companies?

inherentchoice on 31/12/2014 - 15:42

There must be so many various nicknames OzBargainers (or people) use or have invented for those companies that we may dislike or want to make fun of. So what are they? Please comment below.

Personally I lol’d when I first saw someone referring to JetStar as JetScum here on OzB.

Also, are there some other companies that would deserve a nickname but don’t yet have one? Can we come up with some creative suggestions for new nicknames to describe companies or their questionable behaviour?

Maybe you can even invent a nickname here that catches on across the internet and even enters into general Aussie lingo.

    Murdoch empire names (indicating their abysmally low standards catering to, or should I say "directing" the bogan sheep, rednecks and rusted-on Libs):

    Limited News (News Limited)
    The Daily Trash-o-graph (Daily Telegraph)
    Faux News (Fox News)
    news.con.au (news.com.au)
    The Unaustralian
    News Crap (News Corp)
    Lie News (Sky News)

    Unable to come up with a name for Murdoch's "mX" magazine which indicates that it caters for the lowest of the low… Any takers?

      • iridiumstem on 12/01/2015 - 19:34

        I think I know why. Most of air force personnel were relatively free from training, my group was especially free from them. I think it was because we were always in operation, even though we had no physical work, we were operational 24/7. Shift works under a bunker… The fun times.
