Forum Game Clingan need a (new?) nickname

[Everything Beagle]

As the Donovan Clingan ascendency continues, he’s outgrown the pejorative Cling Kong nickname, and DC doesn’t cut it either. What nickname should he have?

I say The Foreman. He’s a lunchpail and hardhat player, and is constantly running the defense, shouting and ordering guys around. Big Construction Site Lead aura.

Except he's a 5-man...

But seriously, I'm on board. Anything that evokes that workmanlike ethos. Hard hat. Lunch pail. Blue collar. High rise (cause he'd be building one, not working in it).

I'm sure someone much more creative than me could find something fitting.

DC nickname thread got me to thinking about what is your Top 5 player nicknames of all time. So many to choose from.
I recently created a hoodie with mine. Actually just arrived this past week…….
Tractor Trailer and Vincanity were always a couple I loved as well.
