Beetles were called Fuscas in Brazil, which is apparently Portuguese for bug.

Vochos (the Spanish pronounciation of "V" is more like a "B", so it gets spelled that way a lot).

Names used to describe air cooled VW's

I've worked on them for many years now, and am not going to repeat what terms I've used in the freezing cold at Lockhart's when you're trying to free up some rounded off bolt.
Incidentally, I will contribute:
"herbies"....what my girls call all of the beetles.
"bulli".....the German nickname for the early split buses.
