What are the Japanese words for 'Grasshopper' and 'Fats' if they are used as knicknames in Japanese and English? As in: "Arisaka Fats and Grasshopper went to inspect some Japanese rifles." Thanks, Trey

I didn't pay to much for that old Arisaka, I just bought it a little bit too soon!

It was relayed to me that the closest thing to 'Fats' used a knickname would be 'debu chan,' and grasshopper would be 'batta.'
