stick monkey
A derogatory term for aircraft pilots (regardless of him/her being in the fixed-wing/airplane or rotary/helicopter community). This species of aviators is prevalent in the commercial airlines, private aviation, or the military (e.g. Navy, Marines, Air Force, Army, and even the Coast Guard and the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration/NOAA). The term can also be used to denote astronauts.
True to the name, the stick monkey just wiggles the joystick around, making the plane roll left, right, up, down, clockwise, and counterclockwise.

Eight Ball
A crazy, reckless person. Furthermore, a lighthearted term used to describe a mix between an idiot and a daredevil (either for insult and, sometimes, endearment).
Like the literal black ball used in a game of pool, an Eight Ball is a living, breathing symbol of both good and bad luck.
Popularized by U.S. Navy and Marine Corps T.V. shows "McHale's Navy" (1962-1966) and "Baa Baa Black Sheep" a.k.a. "Black Sheep Squadron" (1976-1978).
