757: Barracuda (a long, slender, and fast fish). Well, I like "Stripper," too, because she has long kegs, a slender waist, and big round.....engines, but there's nothing 'fishy' about that....
A320: The Electric Eel (FBW, and it sometimes shocks pilots with its responses)
737: Alternative to Guppy---Octopus, because it may fly 8 legs a day
CS100 or 300, if we get them: Tadpole. Or maybe Anchovies, because the Capt pay rates stink.

"Guppy" was never an offensive term at UAL.
LCAL guys take it as an insult for some crazy reason (all planes have nick names after all...)
Get over it fellas.
It's the Guppy forever.

How about 'flying speed bump'? ... although I like Hawaiian RJ.
