The one's I know:

Imperial:

Eyeball: TIE/Ln.

Squint: TIE Interceptor

Bright: A TIE Advanced

Dupe: A TIE Bomber

Trip: A TIE Defender

Peeper: TIE Scout

Clutch: A squadron of TIE Fighters

Rebel (Scum):

Pointer: X-Wing

Wishbone: Y-Wing

Edge: A-Wing

Spinner or Cross: B-Wing

Skull: Z-95 Headhunter

Why is the Headhunter "skull"?

No "Gargantuan Space Cow" for the shuttle?

I've heared other Rebel pilots nickname the B as 'Blade' or 'Blade Wing', aside from that Ken has nailed all the monikers from Rogue Squadron et al regarding the Imp ships! I love calling bombers 'dupes' I feel slightly pro.

Not a ship, but Turr Phennir is Turd Ferguson aka Mr. Reynolds anytime we play. I think we picked that up from TMB.

I just read in the Kryotos Trap that Lambda Shuttles were nicknamed 'Lambs'.

I suppose that fits the space cattle thing.

I doubt it'd catch on, but I would like to call the Falcon the Frisbee Lobster.

When it was being previewed, I suggested "Blink" for the phantom.

The one's I know:

Imperial:

Bright: A TIE Advanced Avenger

"Brights" referred to the TIE Avenger, which while technically were a form of TIE Advanced, are not the TIE Advanced x1 in this game. I don't know if the x1 had a nickname.

If I recall correctly Blink was designated for a stealthing prototype fighters, which is exactly what the Phantom was in its appearances. So they're a different model with the same purpose? Definitely close enough.

Wasn't an X-wing a "crossbones"?

We can call it the Dud.

I thought the z95's were coffins.

The Empire's nickname for a Z-95 is a "Suicide Sled".

Eyeball = TIE Fighter

Squint = TIE Interceptor

Dupe = TIE Bomber

Bright = TIE Advanced

Trip = TIE Defender

??? = TIE Phantom

Cross / Blade = B-Wing

Slim = A-Wing

Pointer / Snub = X-Wing

Wishbone = Y-Wing

Suicide Sled / Skull = Z-95 Headhunter

??? = E-Wing

All of these are known nicknames from Star Wars EU. I do like the idea of Blink for Phantoms.

I did mean the nicknames you use when playing X-wing, but good job finding all the EU ones!
