I don't know about this Jeffrey. Perhaps this was a reference to my hair being similar to a troll doll. This was posited in my office. If your interpretation was correct "gnome" would be more appropriate. LOL. I don’t know about this Jeffrey. Perhaps this was a reference to my hair being similar to a troll doll.

First a troll is "a mythical cave-dwelling being depicted in folklore as either a giant, or a dwarf, typically having a very ugly appearance". Now I would favor the first option here: "Giant". This is safer in definitions. Ugly? Hmm, well we can't all slay the chicks. So let's go with "Giant". Industrial is "of, relating to, or characterized by industry" and "suitable for use in industry". This means you are an Industrial Giant, albeit ugly unless you're atypical. So perhaps you are good looking. My careful interpretation based on this research in the Oxford American dictionary [which has a cool widget for my Mac] is that... You are a Captain of Industry. I would caution that Master of the Universe would be going too far, but Industrial Giant, Captain of Industry has a nice ring to it. Go for it.

Good post. I like the fact that he didn’t call you a run-of-the-mill troll. ;)
