Notable Events
  • 2001
    On September 11, terrorists flew hijacked airplanes into both towers of the World Trade Center and into the Pentagon. A fourth hijacked plane crashed in Pennsylvania.
Presidential Nicknames
  • Dubya: From the Texan pronunciation of 'W', this originated as a family nickname to distinguish him from his father
  • 43 or Bush 43, Bush the Younger, Bush II, and Bush fils: All used to distinguish George W. Bush from George H.W. Bush
  • Bushie: Also used to refer to wife Laura
  • Shrub: Coined by Molly Ivins. George W. Bush is notably shorter than his father; and a little bush is a shrub.
  • Temporary: Bush's nickname in Skull and Bones, never altered by Bush
  • King George (II): Based on comparisons to George III of the United Kingdom, who is often known to Americans simply as "King George" for his association with the American Revolution. The "II" may refer either to Bush's being a successor (though not directly) to a father with the same name (the "first George") or to a misconception that George III was the first English king with that name, thus making Bush the "second."
  • Uncurious George or Incurious George or Spurious George: Comparing him with the monkey character Curious George
  • AWOL Bush: (Often rendered as aWol Bush) Referring to an alleged period of unauthorized leave of absence by Bush during his Vietnam War service in the Texas National Guard
  • The Decider and The Decider-In-Chief: From remarks Bush made about Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld on April 18, 2006
  • The Commander Guy: Bush gave himself this nickname on May 2, 2007, saying "My position is clear - I'm the commander guy."
  • The Velcro President: A contrast to the "Teflon" nicknames given to Reagan and Clinton; most scandals appear to "stick" to Bush.
