Hi, I'm Gormy Cuss.

[Gormy Cuss]

That name? It's a Maine thing. It means a well-intended person who sometimes acts like a bull in a china shop.

1. thanks for the explanation

I have wondered what it was about a few times.

[Marie Marie]

2. Hi Gormy

You're from Maine? I am dying to come visit your state. Someday...

[Gormy Cuss]

4. Maine's beautiful especially in the summer, fall, and winter.

Spring's mud season. Not so nice. I don't live there anymore but visit if you can. The coasts and the mountains are worth the trip.

3. Heh - I wondered about that.

I like the name - thought it was creative.

5. Hi Gormy!

how've you been?

[Gormy Cuss]

6. Huggy!

7. Ever seen the Mythbusters epsiode about a bull in a china shop?

Turns out, that saying is busted. Although the Mythbusters got a little alarmed, the bulls didn't break a thing. So maybe you're alarming, but not actually harmful.

8. !

Here's an example of usage from "Maine Lingo" by John Gould"

"Ain't he the boy broke your plow, smashed your cart, lost the forty-quart can down the well, and got your Edie in a family way?"

"Ayeh."

"Gormy cuss, ain't he?"

9. You seem like a nice young man.

10. Looks are deceiving.

11. Gormy Cuss, hello!

Hi,
Thanks for the explanation of the nick, learned something new. I would get strange looks using that around here though.

Peace

12. Hi hibbing...

when I see your nic I think of Kevin McHale.

[Jackpine Radical]

13. I guess I would think of the Iron Range, Bobby Dylan,

and all those little towns like Marble, Taconite, Coleraine, Bovey, Calumet…
