This is more about dialog, but I was always amused by Stan's most redundant stock villain line, "I'll destroy him forever!"

Notable creative nicknames?

Please tell me Starlin's was Jim "The Hitman" Starlin. At both Marvel and DC.

MW, yep, growing up in a pretty rural area in Oregon, I was similarly not familiar with the Yiddish words that had made their way into New York slang; I know that I first saw words like "chutzpah" (which I was mispronouncing in my head), "kvetch" and "meshuggeneh" in one Marvel comic or another.

"Nuff said" goes back at least as far as the early 20th century fans of the Boston Americans (now the Red Sox) known as the Royal Rooters. They gathered at 3rd Base, the famous saloon owned by one Michael McGreevey, who was known for settling disputes with a stentorian, "Nuff said!" He will forever be known around here as Nuf Ced McGreevey.

Why he chose to spell his edict, and therefore his nickname, "Nuf Ced," I have no idea.

But that's how he chose to spell the words in the advertisement he placed on the fence at Huntington Grounds (this is pre-Fenway days): “What’s the last stop before home? Third Base – Nuf Ced.”

Now, whether McGreevey made it up or not, I don't know.

Re Stan-spearean dialogue: Who didn't love it? Such grandeur, such wondrousness! Such syntax inverted!

For me, the Thor strip never mades sense in the early days, when Thor spoke like any other gimpy doctor turned into a superhero. But... when Asgard was introduced, Stan ahd ot up the ante and write for a god, fer chrissake. (Is that a pun?)

Of course, Stan paid no attention to the distribution of thees and thous, which made little difference to a Thor fan, but would have been indicative of a character's status or the quality of a relationship to an Elizabethan audience, who knew that you didn't just accidentally drop a "thou" on the boss or your wife. "Thou" had traditionally been reserved for addressing those beneath you on the old Great Chain of Being. Odd as it may sound to us, "you" was the pronoun a servant would use to address a master. I thonk to us, "thou" sounds more respectful.

However, to give Stan his due, Shakespeare ain't always consistent, either, because the lines between those forms of address was vanishing during his time, and he acknowledged that, consciously and/or unconsciously, by not always sticking to the traditional usage. 

Here are a few fun examples of Stan-sperean English. (In the second one, Stan seems very obviously to echo Hamlet's, "Words, words, words." 

  

First, it rhymes with "afraid". The rhymes are important here.

Also, the poem refers a lot to God, who presumably did make the world and therefore has some right to make laws for it. The writer didn't, and isn't making laws.
