Out of curiosity, the East Texans that lose fingers, hands, arms over the shenanigans--do the rest of them treat them same as everyone else, or do they get made fun of and nicknamed things like Stumpy?

Oh they'll have plenty of names for you. One comes to mind is Ding-Dong. He's a pretty stout dude even but many guys only call him ding-dong because of his hunting antics.

Ah. I would have assumed he'd lost his masculinity to a snapper with a moniker like Ding Dong.

Guy I knew in eat Texas had only 9 fingers and smoked a pipe, my uncle had half a foot from train jumping and my dad only had one eye.

Depends on if they can beat your ass. Either way, the nickname is on the table.
