Well I already said it before but I WANT to say it again...fknts is his name...I can't even take credit for it...my best friends husband called him that one time and it stuck with me (well all of us) we all refer to my ex a fknts..as of late we don't really refer to him that much at all
Mine is popularly known as d*ckhead, as I've mentioned before. Even friends of the past 10 years don't know his given name. As you noted, sometimes we refer to the ex- with a name like that, and people we don't know well look shocked.
The adulteress.
A nuisance may be merely a right thing in the wrong place — like a pig in the parlor instead of the barnyard.
I have an ex-SO/fiancee who is commonly referred to by me and my ex-wife as "Psycho Slag", because the only person crazier than her was me for being engaged to her.
BA's sorta ex-something or another was referred to as "The Warden" although she has called him some many nicknames that I can't keep track of all of them. Let's put it this way, she is very witty and creative with the underbelly of the English language.

"Your brothe...I mean father". Freudian slip, but it happens often enough that my kids have gotten used to me calling him "your brother". For years, the kids have called him behind his back "Tyranno-pachycephalosaurus Rex" which means "tyrant butt-head king". Okay, that is not literally what those words mean, that is what they have decided they mean. (A pachycephalosaurus is a dinosaur with a very thick skull that butts heads instead of locking horns.)
Other than that, I call him by his given name or "the future ex" or, in Cyburbia, Mr. Zone. He is a noble-hearted, honorable, dutiful man who makes me nuts, is as cold as ice and that just doesn't keep me warm at night <sigh>, and he is doing more right be me now than I ever felt he did during the marriage. I will probably call him more polite things when he really is my ex than I did during much of the marriage.
No nickname, just avoid refering to her as much as possible.

Jean-Jacques Rousseau
To which of the three (3) ex's are you referring to?
Honestly, I had (and have) no nicknames for any ex. Katie cannot stand the last ex, so she refers to her as "The BitcX".
She Got The Gold Mine Bear
Occupy Cyburbia!
Hitler's sister.
WALSTIB
Mine's Superbitch.

I feel the same way, I don't talk about her.Originally posted by giff57
However, when I refer to the ERA of the old SO (s) I refer to it to my "Fromer Life"
My wife has recently taken exception to me saying " my ex", because it's possessive and we're not together anymore. Point well taken.
So many that are listed here would be appropriate -- the adulteress, fknts, Hitler's sister. But I think simply X will be what I call her from now on.
My brother refers to his ex as "Hell Bitch." From Cap'n Call's horse in Lonesome Dove . As he pointed out to me "Do you know why divorces are so expensive? Because they are worth it!"

I am friends with most of my ex’s and I want to stay friends with them, so I am going to be nice.

Well... some were.Friends with benefits?
But now that I have a GF, those benefits have stopped.

Why oh why would you have an EX as a "friend with benefits"?????? For me that would never work...for those of you it has, more power to ya...I say move on, be done and don't look back!!!
I got busy with the ex the same day I was got busy with BA. That kinda led to some issues.Haven't messed with the ex in almost a year though.

I hope I never I have an ex. If quality of marriage was something you could pass in your family's genes, then I'm doomed. Everyone on my Mom's side of the family has been divorced and/or re-married multiple times except for my great grandparents. Only the boys on my Dad's side have been married, and they haven't worked out. The girls don't get married at all.

She is referred to as THE B****, not A B****, she gives lessons on alternate Wednesdays. For a picture, look in the dictionary under..... well you get the picture.
I'll be silent myself, but I call my sister's ex-fiance "The Frugal Monk" Hard core fundamentalist Christian from a wacky disfunctional family with repressed homosexual urges and a serious issue with ensuring "obedient" women. Cheap, too-as in drive around town to save 3 cents per gallon on gas cheap. He just had a scary "look" in his eye.
I don't have one...but a friend of mine calls their ex...the Tundra Hog...I couldn't have a serious conversation because it always sounded so funny....especially when said with spite.
My brother nicknamed his ex Lasagna, which is kind of a play on her real name so he could talk in code with his new wife about her without upsetting his son. He would organize his whole discussion to sound like he was talking about cooking a meal. Only his new wife understood what he was really talking about and his son never caught on. They are now on much better terms following a couple of "come to Jesus meetings" the ex had to have with the judge. Judge had to explain that making plans on his weekend and habitually showing up several hours late was a good way to get the judge to renegotiate the custody in favor of my brother and that he probably should anyway.
"Oh, that is all well and good, but, voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same way in any country."
- Herman Göring at the Nuremburg trials (thoughts on democracy)
My dad used to refer to his first wife as "Mildred" (after a character in a book, I think) when talking about her to my mother in front of all us kids, so that none of us would know who he was talking about. The only problem with that is that I and my-sister-who-is-also- of -the-second-marriage definitely had it figured out by the time we were 4 and 8, respectively (although we were a little confused as to what his ex-wife was really called) so I'd imagine our older sisters also caught on, despite only being there at weekends!

I used to call my ex after the capital of the province of Punjab in Pakistan.
Not really, but I couldn’t resist the rather crap joke
