From Greater Manchester's most famous landmarks to unassuming road junctions, people are compelled to give buildings and places their own nicknames.
A devilish sense of satisfaction can be taken at the opening of a brand new multi-million pound museum or stadium. Typically named after its corporate financer, its grand unveiling with great fanfare is often a short-lived one - when its guaranteed to be referred to by the public as the TV aerial, or toilet bowl, thereafter.
Such are the pitfalls of modern architecture. But even more run-of-the-mill features, like roads and roundabouts, still come in for the same treatment - and often it's a sign of affection, or a throwback to a previous name or time, as opposed to a critique.
A good example of this is the public's reaction to the Hollings Building, better known as the 'Toast Rack', being named one of the ugliest buildings in the UK earlier this year.
