    My current place of residence is in a town so tiny, I'm surprised it even has a name... so no nicknames.

    However, I grew up in J-Town, City of Steel, Prison City.

    There's a development in our town called Birches West and the kids all call it B Dub.

    And our town is simply known as TWP.

    I live in Clifton Park, NY and I don't think there are any nicknames for here, but there are some for some surrounding cities:

    Troy, NY "Troylit"
    Albany, NY "Smalbany"
    Amsterdam, NY "Amsterico"

    This.

    But I think the spellings are

    Smallbany
    Troylet
    AmsteRico

    ;)

    Only thing that comes to mind is that the hip hoppers around these parts like to refer to j-ville as our county name and say it really loud and drawn out > Duuuuuu - vaaaaal. (Duval County, Jacksonville FL)
    It's extremely annoying.

    We also have...

    Tacoma-T-town
    Lynnwood-Lynn-Hood (yeah, lots of gangsters there...but they are wannabes)

    (thank gawd I have never lived in either of these towns)
    Lynnwood isn't that bad. I work there and it's not the hood by any stretch of the imagination. You forgot the following:
    Tri Cities - Try Shitties
    Bothell - Bot Hell
    Chehalis - Shithalis
    Bainbridge Island - Braindamage Island

    I currently live in Fort Myers, FL, which I heard referred to as Fortclosure (due to the housing market crash) on the radio once. Other than that, I can't think of any nicknames.

    I was born and raised in a small town - Kernersville, NC - that's commonly referred to as K-Vegas. Yes, it's stupid.
    I wish I was as fortunate, as fortunate as me.

    Payson...They say once you've moved here due to the taxes and the old farts that run this little town that you'll have to " Pay Son" Annoying to say the least.

    My hometown is nicknamed "the Wood". Kind of funny actually.
    Another habit says it's in love with you
    Another habit says its long overdue
    Another habit like an unwanted friend
    I'm so happy with my righteous self

    Surprised nobody from Toronto has said anything.

    I think my dad calls his home town Trauma.
