I bet you tuff welder males have lots of tatoos (another ridiculous way of implying being a lot tougher/interesting than you probably are). Same goes for piercing (image, image, image).
Is this tough-talk not just an animal topdog contest where you hear a lot of barking but very little "biting". What I am trying to say (in an insultive way) is that "talk is cheap". And if I did this well I might have offended some tatoed persons aswell.

Hehe Well it's allways good to see a stereotypical resumé in the morning.
None of the guys have tatoos including me. And on the "yo momma" I don't know why but I guess "working" for a living with metal and in smoke and dust, getting burns and what not. Makes you tougher also in the language.
I mean when getting a melted piece of pipe on my neck does not leave me saying something nice
That beeing said we may look like an angry mob, but we are the nicest guys. And you are right on the "Empty barrels make the most noise" but I wouldnt call it cheap talk. Its just a nice way of venting stuff. I found that among big guys that look like they could hurt someone, there is no longer a need to "act" like your tough. And it makes for a very relaxed workplace.
Hope this helped
Edit: On the dog note. When you see a bunch of dogs running free , the big dogs allways run arund having fun beeing relaxed, while the small dogs run around barking their head of beeing all "I may be little but I can hurt you, yes I can!" The big dog could explain everything with a single snarrl, while the little dog have to get all verbal : )
