its not like they mentally make them self flicker. its like me taking my hand and flicking it outward the hand travels quicker than the rest of my arm.

the body flicker is the technique that gave him the nickname yellow flash

Pretty sure it was his use of the Flying Thunder God technique that gave him that nickname.

Nope. its the body flicker that made him famous.

the flying thunder god technique doesn't leave any streaks its simply teleportation. no visible change.. when Naruto was a baby and he flicked to Naruto. that was pure body flicker. if you look closely you can see the flash of his flicker as in The Yellow flash
