Mine is because I work in the North Sea Offshore Oil & Gas Industry. The chaps who work out there are known as 'North Sea Tigers' I think it is due to the orange overalls with black oily marks on, rather than any indication of being fierce and strong. Although, they can be fierce, as I found out the other night when I showed the audacity of speaking in the lounge when Emerdale was on
They nearly had a baby when I laughed out loud then nipped to my cabin to get my handbag for one of them
North Sea Housecats, more like!! Anyway, I digress, As I am the female of the species, I just changed it to 'Tigress'
Maria, we will have a good thinking sesh over a nice latte!

Typical bloody nurse. BEARS they are bears, which makes you a bearess, or bearass. A North Sea Tiger is the noisy thing you use to fly there and back. Oh God where will it all end, it'll be messy, but where will it end. Orange ovies and oil, what an imagination.
See you at Okeykokey and then I'll sort you and Loz out, get you straightened up and girdle-shaped.

You should talk to somebody who gives a f**k.

Rigger.
Crabspeak for airframe fitter. From the days when airyplanes were made from wires and bog paper. Rigging was fitting and ajusting the wires that held the buggers together. Biggles and I used to shake them before we boarded the kite, just to make sure that you other service cheps hadn't sawn them through in the dead of night, and also to let the ground crew know that we didn't trust them an inch.

Well its a long story....if your prepared to listen!..
.......I came upon my Nome De Plume by curtisy of my Grandfather and then my father after him. So as not to confuse the three of us, George, James and Michael I placed the Mike prior to the "O"........Hence we get "Mike O". Had it been down to my grandfather, who left the O' out for aesthetic and religious reasons (Being a protistant living in the Irish republic) I may have been "Mike R". But not so, because in 1928 my father replaced the O', thence returning to O'Rourke.
Had my Grandfather studied genealogy and family history, he would have found out that it matters not a tadge if the "O" is left out or not, coz we all emanate from the same west coast bog!
Aye
