I'm thinking...

"BALLS"
"MONKEY'S ASS"

or, just one I've been waiting for - the "Holy Crapifier".
hahah, good to see you're on the same page as me...

You need to call it the Badass Motherfcker.

So when the intern says, "What do you want to run this into?"

You say, "I brought my own pre for that."

"Well, which one is yours?"

"It's the one that says Badass Motherfker on it."

Further to that list. I believe RODE microphones were originally to be called RODENT. They decided against it and went with the shortened version, but the name lives on with their NT prefix.
Sometimes people forget the space and it ends up as a RodeNTxxx.

I'd call it Magic Johnson because he was such a badass in his day. If there were pre's named after 80's basketball stars, I'd be all over it.

"I've got the overheads running through a pair of Magic Johnsons, and the kick's going through the Larry Bird Mullet-Edition. The Charles Barkley is relegated to hihat duty for this session, but some days I like the Barkley on snare bottom if I'm feeling saucy."
