I have managed over time to give quiet a few nick names and I basically only tell when pushed. none are rude but that depends in the eye of the beholder, sometimes, Hello Plonker.

As for "Collect":
Back when payphones were still around, you could have the person you were calling pay the charges, and that was called a "Collect Call". So, when you did this you were in fact: "Calling them collect".
I have no money, so don't call me collect.
It's a play on the old phrase.
