Thanks Mel - Makes my 3 offerings look a little pathetic!
Mel on June 3rd, 2007 at 4:47 pm
No problem Jess. I actually have a list of nicknames that people have been called in the show…….I know, I am sad!
Meghann on June 3rd, 2007 at 7:18 pm
Right there with you, Mel!!! *lol* I have tons written down in my notebook. I had a bunch just for the heck of it, then we started playing the Nickname Game. Ever since then, the list has grown to almost every name characters have used in reference to themself or someone else!
Meghann on June 3rd, 2007 at 7:21 pm
To Wesley & Gunn in “Fredless”:
“Mr. and Mrs. Bickerson, a little focus, please.”
Meghann on June 3rd, 2007 at 7:35 pm
She refers to Pierce in “The Bachelor Party” as “Mr. Armani”.
Meghann on June 3rd, 2007 at 7:57 pm
Barney:
“Mr. Emotional Radar” in “Parting Gifts”
And to add on to one of Mel’s…
Cordy: “Mr. and Mrs. Spock need to mind meld now.”
She referred to Angel as Mr. Spock. :o)
Bakatulip on June 5th, 2007 at 9:41 pm
Mr. And Mrs. Bickerson, I think should be noted, is a reference to a radio skit, and failed television show, called The Bickersons… We used to call my grandparents that *shifty eyes*

Slouching Toward Bethlehem
Cordelia: How big is this dump? Angel? Mr. Bumpy-face? Hello?
slayed on July 15th, 2007 at 11:40 am
My favorite, the one that started it all and perhaps the most long-winded, has not been mentioned yet. In 2.06 Halloween …
CORDELIA: Is Mr. I’m-the-lead-singer-I’m-so-great- I-don’t-have-to-show-up-for-my- date-or-even-call gonna be there?
OZ: Yeah, y’know, he’s just going by ‘Devon’ now.
slayed on July 16th, 2007 at 2:01 am
This seems to be the first occurrence in 1.02 The Harvest:
CORDELIA: Hello, Miss Motormouth, can I get a sentence finished? Oh, I love this song! Come on!
Cordelia’s not the only one. Buffy calls Marcie “Miss Invisible” in 1.11 Out Of Mind Out Of Sight.
Here’s a line from 1.03 The Witch:
AMY: Well, he was a big loser. Never made any money. Ran off with Miss Trailer Trash when I was twelve.
Buffy reverses it here refering to herself in 2.09 What’s My Line:
BUFFY: Oh, God, I’m sorry. Look, I’ve been Cranky Miss all day. It’s not you.
And here again in 3.04 Beauty And The Beasts:
BUFFY: I get to convince him that I’m Little Miss Stable so I can stay in school.
Here, Buffy slams Faith in 3.14 Bad Girls:
BUFFY: Diverted? That was me fighting for my life, Miss Attention Span.
The Mayor get’s in on the act in 3.21 Graduation Day:
MAYOR: Not you? Let me tell you something. Nobody knows what you are. Not even you, little Miss Seen-it-all.
Here’s Buffy again in 4.01 The Freshman:
WILLOW: Well, you did sort of wait till the last minute with your course selection.
BUFFY: Sorry, ‘Miss I-chose-my-major-in-playgroup.’
Playing around with the word “Miss” a bit more, here’s Buffy again in 4.02 Living Conditions:
Buffy: Yeah, something’s amiss here, a ‘Miss Kathy Newman.’
Even Spike has jumped into the fray here expressing his frustration with Buffy in 4.20 The Yoko Factor:
SPIKE: No. See? You’re not getting it, Mr. Bits. You’re gonna be interestingly dead. Little Miss Tiny’s got a habit of bollixing up the plans of every would-be, unstoppable bad-ass who sets foot in this town.
Here’s Willow refering to herself in 4.21 Primeval:
WILLOW: Well, I haven’t been Miss Available either. I–I kept secrets. I hid things from everyone.
And then even Dawn uses it to express her frustration in 5.02 Real Me:
DAWN: She still thinks I’m Little Miss Nobody, just her dumb little sister. Boy, is she in for a surprise.
Here Buffy is sarcastically refering to Glory’s less than glorious demeanor in 5.06 Family:
Buffy: (to Giles) So, any breakthroughs on the identity of Miss Congeniality?
Xander, not to be out done, here is taunting the hellion Razor in 6.01 Bargaining:
XANDER: I don’t see you winning too many beauty contests … unless the Miss “My Face Fell Off” pageant gets going.
And then this from Tara and Anya in 6.08 Tabula Rasa:
TARA: Not to be Miss Psycho Pep Squad, but we have *got* to stop obsessing about what we did and start trying to make things better for Buffy.
ANYA: I’m with Miss Psycho Pep Squad.
Even Warren’s human girlfriend can’t resist taking a shot at his robot girlfriend here in 6.13 Dead Things:
KATRINA: What *thing* would that be exactly? What, the wind-up slut you tinkered together? Or when Little Miss Nuts and Bolts tried to choke me to death?
Anya’s on the receiving end here from her ‘co-workers’ in 7.01 Lessons:
HALFREK: It’s the talk of the Order. They’re calling you Miss Softserve. Tell me you don’t know this …
Finallry, here’s Faith with some payback for Buffy in 7.18 Dirty Girls:
FAITH: Don’t even tell me little Miss Tightly-Wound’s been getting her naughty on?
Meghann on September 21st, 2007 at 8:54 am
From Somnabulist about Penn’s third victim:
Cordy: “Oh, is that what you told Miss ‘third body found in alley’?”
insaneinthebasement on June 13th, 2008 at 12:21 pm
Cordy also called Dr Meltzer “Dr Chopped Salad” in I Fall To Pieces
