Airline nicknames

Have done a quick search but cannot find anything on the board. Is there a list of airline
nicknames anywhere?

e.g. Northwest Airlines= Northworst Airlines
Virgin Airways = Vermin Airways

Thanks.

Not sure where to transfer this since there's a somewhat air travel notion to it ... but let's try continuing the discussion in TravelBuzz. Thanks.
