yeah, someone already said that^ and it's kinda pointless when it says produced by JACK WHITE III on the record in large print and in tiny tiny print on the back has this nickname. Seeing how you know what everything means... maybe you can enlighten us as to where the nickname comes from?

Mindy Watts. She works in the recording booth but I don't think she's a producer. The whole "gimmick" of the Blue Series is that Jack produces everything.

Alright, Mr. Sassy Pants.

In a Rolling Stone article from earlier this year...
It's mostly as a fan that White is working these days with his Third Man Records, including a new three-song single with the Butthole Surfers' Gibby Haynes, though White is a little frustrated at how his involvement has been represented. "I'm going to start taking my name off some of this stuff because I like to produce 45s, but you produce a 45 of Gibby Haynes and they end up saying, 'Jack White releases new record with Gibby Haynes on vocals.' And it's not really fair," he said.
As you can see, John didn't like the fact that his name was taking away from the artists name.

The Tall Poppy part comes in from Tall Poppy Syndrome (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tall_poppy_syndrome), where people are criticized because their talents are recognized more than fellow artists.

The couple of times I've seen Mindy, she's been in skin-tight leather (pleather? I dunno, didn't look quite that closely, it was just tight) pants, not a skirt.

You've made it pretty clear that you're not that much of an asshole ;)
