It kind of bugs me when people (in the US at least) refer to Brittanys as Brittany Spaniels. The "spaniel" was dropped in '82 - I think that half the people calling them "Brittany Spaniels" weren't even alive when that was the name!
Otherwise there aren't a ton of nicknames for my breeds. Brittanys are either Brittanys or Brits/Britts, Cardigan Welsh Corgis are Cardigans, Cardis, CWCs... I guess I'm not crazy about the "corgi with a tail" thing, because I feel like that implies that's the only difference between Pems and Cardis. But for most people who will never own one or anything, that is the quickest way to differentiate. Unless you live somewhere that bans docking!
"Pibbles" drives me nuts.
