my surname translates from the Polish as ‘something that is broken but can still be used,’ so this word, or rather its meaning, is a dear subject to me. You think about people with names that defined their occupation way back when, like Shepard, Tanner, Taylor, Smith - etc. Then you have my family’s name meaning. I picture some crappy old Krakow farm, so lame that even the other polacks felt the need to label us as the jury-rigged clowns down the road...
So, your name is Bricolawski?
It’s what makes you so endearing!
Known for being resourceful is an admirable thing.
