Glass / Glue

Fancy Way to Say: Corning Nicknames for Corning based on its ticker, GLW. Glass comes from it being in the business of fiber and the first two letters of the ticker, GL, hence GLass. Glue comes from the pronunciation of the ticker if you were to spell it out: G - L - W (double U), hence GLUU, or GLUE.
