I think it was Bob Grant who called him Flim Flam Florio. Not sure if Rush had his own nickname for him.

I remember local NJ radio station, WKXW, calling him Phonyo.

Yes it was Bob Grant( then on WABC Radio - New York) who coined that nickname. He hammered Florio and then NYC Mayor, David Dinkens relentlessly. In my opinion partially responsible for Christine Todd Whitman’s victory. Although her 2 terms were questionable at best.
