Different Nicknames Around The World?

Saw a sale post today from somewhere in Asia for a Hulk but it was referred to as a “Water Ghost”. Anyone else seen different nicknames used in other parts of the world?

The Mrs from Chinese origin did ask me about a "Rolex Water Ghost" as well.
I laughed it off and said no such thing. Thought it was a Google translate thing.

Btw, Not advocating the use of anymore of silly nick name calling
