In Texas Holdem - What are the names of the Starting hands?

Question

I know a few but wanted to know if there were others:
KK = Cowboys
AA = Poket Rockets or American Airlines
QQ = Ladies
JJ = Fishhooks

Any others?

Those Houston players would come to Dallas and play that Ace-King, but they'd always end up against a pair of Aces. That's why we call that hand ‘Walking back to Houston.'" - T.J. Cloutier, quoted by Barry Greenstein)
