Sorry I'm from western New York. I don't know what a tennis shoe is. 

 

 

It's a damn sneaker folks!! 

 

So if you're going to go the tennis route, you would instead have to call him ball.  Sadly, that nickname is already claimed by Phil Kessel.

If its Cockney, don't we then also have to rhyme with shoe? Call him Roo or Lou or Chew.

 

AFAIK, no. For instance, Yank rhymes with Tank, Septic Tank, so in the UK, Americans are referred to as "Septics". I can feel the love. I will admit that I'm not sure you can rhyme the first part of the phrase rather than the second, though.

Yep, they call us "seppo" in Australia. Same thing.

My only example is "We're on Barney. Barney Rubble. Trouble!" from Oceans 11 so
