I've heard Lawn Dart for the F-16s too.

Also, Lead Sled for the F-84, and Tent Peg/ground nail for the F-104.

The old joke with the F-84 was that at the end of the nose there was a little sensor that sniffed out the dirt at the end of the runway and then turned the controls on so the pilot could take off.
