I have Bill call Stan “Dumbo” amongst other things as an insult in my fics bc
1) dumb (speaks for itself)
2) it’s a ref to the cartoon elephant with its big ears and big nose (since Bill canonically loooves to poke fun of Stan’s appearance. and many other people's appearances in the show. he's a jerk like that)
But what I do like and find a bit fascinating is that as opposed to the other Pines, whom he refers to mainly by their zodiac symbols-Pine Tree, Shooting Star, Question Mark (Soos is an honorary Pines), and most notably Sixer (though it was Stan's nickname for Ford first!)-Bill has NEVER coined a specific nickname for Stan, like “mackerel”. All the more interesting to me, personally.
