A former senior Apple manager claims he was called a "f**kchop" by Steve Jobs.

Andy Grignon, behind the iChatAV, Dashboard and iSight products, shared the anecdote on geek-orientated social network Geeklist, The Next Web reported.

"In the early iChatAV days, one of the many things Steve Jobs called me was a 'f**kchop'. When I got to iPod, I thought it would make a nice title. "

So Grignon made the decision to include it on his business card.

Grignon also worked on Quicktime, iPhone and Mac OS teams before moving to Palm and having a hand in creating the WebOS mobile platform.

In another anecdote, Grignon talks about being the first person to receive a call on a prototype iPhone, from none other than Jobs himself.

"I received the first call ever made on an iPhone (proto). But I didn't recognise the number and sent it to voicemail."
