nicknamed splinter for "obvious reasons"?

~~1987~~ · 08-09-2015, 01:16 PM

in the series premier episode "turtles tracks", while splinter tells the origin story for april, he says "my 4 young wards nicknamed me splinter, for obvious reasons". what exactly does he mean by this? what are the obvious reasons?

in that scene it just shows him chopping some wood boards with his hands and teeth. does that suggest that he gets splinters when he does that and thats why hes named splinter? its not like it shows him doing that a whole lot throughout the series, so it seems a bit strange they would nickname him splinter just cause of that one scene. are there anymore "obvious reasons" why he was nicknamed splinter?
