Nicknames?

[Per Swenson]

I just read the thread on Norm and was wondering.

How many of you get called that by your spouses, children.

coworkers or neighbors?

I have been called, Norm, Woody, Bob the builder,

Cabinet Boy, and my favorite, Captain Mahogany.

How about you guys? Sorry, And ladys.

[Todd Davidson]

Mostly I just get called "anal" with the added digs about building the "Todd-mahal", although I do get the "Bob the Builder" from the youngins from time to time.

[Richard Wolf]

Bear (see avaitar)

Richard

[Kelly C. Hanna]

Spaceman (wife says I am a space manager since I can organize anything), Woody, Rusty, Matchhead, Opey and Carrot Top to name a few...

[Jim Hager]

I am called "Bonyfingers" by those in my family that get to hear the fussin about me having to work "all the time"

[Steve Wargo]

My co-workers at the day job, and some of the neighbors affectionately call me "termite". Never should have let my wife see me sniffing the lumber.

[Chris Padilla]

My mother calls me Norm at times...my wife, who is from Europe, just calls me her own special pet names but rarely by my birth name!

[Corey Hallagan]

I have never really had one until last week. Dale Thompson called me Bluffsman :) I like it, has that outdoorsey/historical sound to it :)

[Vaughn McMillan]

Don't really have any woodworking-related handles, but a lot of people call me by my first initial - V. The LOML calls me Sweetie, my father calls me The Hippie, and the dogs call me Dad. In years past, I was Vaughnus Uponus, not to be confused with Fungus Among Us.

Most of the rest of what I've been called isn't allowed here on SMC. ;)

- Vaughn

[Todd Burch]

I typically get "MacGyver".

[Chris Barton]

My wife has a number of names she likes to call me but, probably shouldn't be in print. They contain words like wipe, and hole...

LOL!! Jack Ash......I kinda like it!! Thanks for that laugh......Ashman! :D

[Jeff Sudmeier]

I have been Called Norm (A compliment I thought) and Bob Villa (Didn't like that one :) )

My real nickname is Suds or Sudsy, depending on who is talking to me. I think ya all can figure out where those came from.

[Lee DeRaud]

I've been dubbed "Jr." at work.We just got a high-school senior summer intern who insists on calling me "sir"...that is Just Not Right.:eek:

[Jim Dannels]

Most not fit for publishing:D

Probably the only one woodworking related that is fit is"Handy Dan".

[larry merlau]

my huntin and fishin buddies call me griz, my boss calls me merly or griz and have some salesmen that call me thatas well. as for the wood side, i have been called norm by the other half and have called the other half mrs norm in reply back. mainly cause i like plaid. as for the "ashman' he is sorta of a jack of all trades, so jack woulda fit :D but i wont call hm that to his faces he's one mean fella :eek:

[Bill Grumbine]

I've been called many things by many people over the year, Bear, Tank, Moose, Gentle Giant, etc, etc, but the one that has been used the most and the one that pops up from people who do not even know one another is Mr. Bill.

Bill

[Michael Gibbons]

Call me anything you want except "Late for Dinner".:rolleyes:

[Mark Valsi]

Since I started woodworking, a few of my buddies call me 'GEPPETTO' !

and then there are the usual derogatory names which cause my self esteem to crumble in the dust :p

[Christian Aufreiter]

My younger brother created a bunch of nick names for me. But only "insiders" can understand them.

Regards,

Christian

[Ken Salisbury]

Just "Coach" by all those who know me well.

[Corey Hallagan]

If any of you remember the 60's scifi cartoon Johnny Quest.... wel then you will understand this. My brothers call me Dr. Quest.. they think I look like him with my white bear, glasses etc. SAid if I had a white lab coat that would be me!

Corey

[James Boster]

I've been dubbed with the name "woodhick" which is what all of the old-time sawmillers and cabinetmakers in this area were called years ago. Hence my login name on other sites and e-mail address are all woodhick.

[Kevin Beck]

I hear "Big Guy" a lot. I have never figured out why someone would call a big guy "Big Guy" but it doesn't bother me. I guess they just haven't ran into a grumpy big guy yet?

My grandfather always called my brother and I tiger because he couldn't tell us apart. In his later years when we saw him he would always say "Now, which tiger are you?".

He was a remarkable and interesting man, sure do miss him.

[James Mudler]

I am called "MUD" by many.

[Jay Kilpatrick]

Jaybird, Ed, Hubby, "K", Killer, Kill (last two were from Dad; found memories or picking up the phone and hearing, "Kill, this is Kill...") FTD, and last but not least Bluedick (from my Pappaw, I think its a term of endearment from his Kentucky/Hillbilly roots...but I'll never know.)
