"Google" produces a LOT of made up ones... hard to find real ones.

Arent all nicknames made up? Or are there any "officially " approved ones (if so, who approves nicknames?) It comes more down to the question who has the competence to create a nickname. A single lens tester, a crowd of users or the single creative mind that invents the funniest name? USeless dicussion. I argue that the only legitimate nickname is the one which best captures the pecularities of a lens and is understood by a large number of people without second thought.
bTW I call my 24-105 L the miscontruct, as canon has exchanged minetwice and the third sample is still decentered.
