An extremely comprehensive list can be found here:  http://www.netaces.org/ahradio/abbrev.html#title - in fact, this is an excellent site for all aspects of AH!  :)

You forgot to put "dweeb" in your list.  It, of course, means anyone who just shot you down.  It can also refer to the plane that said individual was piloting at the time that they shot you down.

Within the game ee tend to use "Jabo" as a verb meaning "to ground attack" but it is really a noun.  Jabo is an abbreviation of Jagdbomber which is German for fighter-bomber.

Since we're at it:

runstang = P51
nikiddie = N1K2 driver
dweebfire = spit
Lala = La7
Luftwabble = any German plane and driver
= Salute

Anybody got any other colorful names for planes?

Not very colourfull but more or less used though:

pony d/b = P-51 D or B version
tiffy = Typhoon
niki = N1K2
zero / zeke = A6M2 / A6M5 (actually the A6M5 was only a zeke while the A6M2 and A6M3 were zeros, but nobody cares about that)
stuka = dive bomber (like the D3A) no fighter bomber (i.e. a usual fighter carrying bombs)

And some most likely germans may call the 262 a "Schwalbe" and the 110 a "Wildsau".

Ok shameful admissions time. Been flying sims since the AW GEnie days. Still unsure after all this time what the following terms mean:

Roped
Cherry Picked

- SEAGOON

BTW - Any others terms related to ACM we've forgotten? BTW - ACM = Air Combat Maneuvers.

Seagoon:

Roped is a term used to describe a maneuver that occurs when you as a higher energy fighter pull into a vertical climb, luring your lower energy opponent to follow you.  When he stalls out, you nose over and end up on his 6.  He has been "roped", or "rope-a-doped".

Cherry picked is used to describe when a fighter drops down onto a low and slow...or damaged...aircraft and scores the easy kill.  Basically, any time your opponent can do nothing about the situation...like being on the ground, deadstick, whatever, and you kill him, you went cherry picking.
