Yeah, sort of. I would have thought the true comment on Lt Woods more to the point.

I think it's a vulgar Finnish term, similar to 'woodie'. Innocuous in itself, it has crude connotations in certain phrasing.

I'm a Richard myself, and 'Dick' is about the only nickname that annoys me. I've been called that in belittlement. Usually by an ex-wife on her way out...

I have a Takkakoski 9mm barrel, the 120mm one, but it is unmarked.
