moniker

def: a nickname, a pseudonym, an alternate name e.g. It looks and sounds unpolished with the RC moniker e.g. 2  but I didn't feel they were quite deserving of the 'blackest  black '  moniker  yet

stock phrase

def:  ( idiomatic )  A  phrase   frequently  or  habitually  used by a person or group, and thus  associated  with them. Bart Simpson's  stock phrase  "I didn't do it" was once lampooned on the show itself. e.g. (JP)  いってきます see you later  ( said by a person leaving, a stock phrase required by the Japanese etiquette, lit.: (after) going, I will come back )
