GatorMail-Q                   RE: nicknames for generations
Joel sez:

In keeping with the "B" theme (Bulli, Bus/Bread-loaf/Bay-Window, Brick)
I'd like to toss out Barn, as in, "as big as a ", "broad side of a" etc.
Once, there were "bahn-burners," now there are Barn-burners...

UrineVan...yeah, right!...   :-)
