Do you call the USAF's A-10 a "Thunderbolt II" or a "Warthog?"?

Why don’t people call it what it is!

It’s the Warthog, ugly slow but amazingly effective. Why do the higher ups keep wanting to kill something so useful?
For now, i’d call it a “what-the-fuck-is-that”
For the record, the official name is “Thunderbolt II.” Named after the highly effective P-47 Thunderbolt of WWII fame. (Highly effective as a ground attack aircraft.)
How about a Sweat Hog!?!?
A Warthog by any other name would be a Thunderbolt II
And why the hell would I know of every aircraft in the military and their respective names/nicknames? Unless I was in the military myself, or had an interest in it?
The only ones I’m familiar with are, or were rather, the blackhawk helicopters, and I know of them because they had the reputation of falling apart on their own during use.
If we’re going to call it what it is, then we might as well go with Death From Above.
Warthog.
They used to circle my yard.
I always wondered what a “thog” is.
