What's Spanish for "nickname"?

Some of the nicknames Jaime and Luis Moreno use for Panthers players during game broadcasts in Spanish:

El Sonorense: Center Ryan Kalil. His grandmother is from the Mexican state of Sonora.

El Dinosaurio (“The Dinosaur”): Quarterback Cam Newton. A nickname that began at Auburn. “He’s one of a kind. There are no more like him.”

El Bandolero (“The Bandit”): Cornerback Josh Norman. “He steals from everybody that throws his way.”

El Terrible: Running back Jonathan Stewart

El Confesor (“The Confessor”): Linebacker Luke Kuechly. “In medieval times, you had the punisher. The guy who would get anything out of you.”

El Aristócrata (“The Aristocrat”): Wide receiver Ted Ginn Jr., because “what he does on the field is difficult to find anywhere else. It’s an aristocracy.”

El Capitán: Linebacker Thomas Davis Sr.

El Bolichero (”The Bowler”): Tight end Ed Dickson. “He loves bowling a lot.”

Rico: Coach Ron Rivera, but “he doesn’t know it. We have to ask for his permission.” (During his playing days in Chicago, Rivera’s nickname was Chico.)

El Tanque: Mike Tolbert. “He’s a tank whenever he gets the ball.”

Strange. I would have labeled Greg Olsen ''El Aristocrata" but I prefer to call him "El Vikingo". Kuechly is "El Captain and Davis is "El Cucuy" (The Boogeyman).

Greg Olsen is already nicknamed "Mayonesa" which means mayonnaise and I find it hilarious

Ahhh so that's why he kept yelling mayonesa, I thought that was some sort of slang term for "its gravy" or "so slick" or something.

The best was Gano's winning FG in the MNF game when he yells "Gano" (the verb ganar= to win, so I win or win in the past tense=gano)

So, he yells.....Gano! Gano!, Gano.....lo gano?! Gano lo gano!! so hilarious.

 

To answer your question Mr Scot.....I think apodo or sobrenombre, but I'm sure it depends on the dialect.

    • THIS PERIOD IS WERE WE FIND OUT IF THE ROLL OVER AND DIE or if they NUT UP AND WIN THE GAME and make this a series...  And i for one think a lot of this is mental WINNING one here will be a HUGE CONFIDENCE BOOST. And florida is getting worn down you can see it.
    • Eh idk about this. He’s a 100 point player in the toughest market in hockey. Not to mention, guys seem to play more freely once they leave Toronto. I’d be willing to bet that Marner could unlock Svechnikov. I’d go hard after both Marner and Bennett in the offseason.
    • I’m not going to sit here and say he played “amazing” in this game against the Eagles, but you’re selling this performance short. Stats do not tell the whole story here.  If Leggette doesn’t drop that late 32 yard pass, Bryce ends up with 223 yards and 2TDs and doesn’t end up with 2 additional incompletions after that drop trying to force things to the end zone at the end of the game. So that’s be 20-32 instead of 19-34, good for a 62.5% completion percentage. His YOA would be 6.96 and his QB rating would have been 91.2. And the story everyone is talking about after the game is how Bryce led a game winning drive to beat one of the best teams in the league, the team we did not know at the time would become Super Bowl champions.  But none of that happened all because of an awful drop by Leggette, something totally out of Bryce’s control. Bryce played well that game.
