[MajorDisaster]

I dunno if it was a name the Germans or hapless American tankers gave the Sherman but I read somewhere it got the nickname of "Ronson" cos of the way it lit up after being hit. And somewhere else I saw the Germans calling the Tiger "Furniture Van" (Soz, dont know the German for that), due to it's err... manouverability. (That might have just been a one off and not generally used cos I only read it in one source).
