Except in England when sometimes one will be called a porker.

Porsh is  a nick name, just like Chevy is to Chevrolet. Saying "Porsh"
instead of  "Porshe" is as engrained in automotive lingo as Chevy is.
So is "Jag"  instead of "Jaguar", "Bimmer" instead of BMW. Using the
Slang term "Porsh"  is culturally correct when refering to the Car, not
the family.
