Team member Nick Names

[billbo911]

I'm sure all of you have experienced this. It is completely normal and very much part of the bonding process that takes place as a team forms: we develop nick names for each other.

What I would love to hear are some of those names. What I would also love to hear is the reason why that name was given, that always seems to make the name make more sense and that is where the bonding starts. These names can be for current or past members, Mentors or Advisers. In fact, anyone that is or has been connected to your team is fair game.

Please remember before you respond, this is a GP place. Please use common sense when replying. I know there are names that just do not need to be shared, so please don't.

OK, I'll start.

We now have a student how will forever be known as "Quarter Inch". This is not because of his stature but is because he was the first to break a drill bit this year. It was a 1/4" bit.
To be fair, one of my nick names is "Double Square". Why? Same reason as Quarter Inch, except, I broke a 9/64" bit.
Engineering students = witty sense of humor.
