Hmm, far too complicated, but then, these sort of things often are.

I wondered if it might have been due to the stiff circuit breaker incident
earlier in the mission where the only person who seemed to be able to
operate them was Pam.

Pambo? What is that all about then?

Nickname given to Pam Melroy by Brian Duffy (her CDR on STS-92). Play on
words with "Rambo" (there is a Rambo poster in the 120 crew's office with
Pam's face superimposed over Stallone's).

George Zamka already had the callsign "Zambo", so when he and Pam were
assigned to 120, they gave the rest of the crew "-bo" nicknames as well:

Scott Parazynski - Longbow (height)
Doug Wheelock - Flambo (can start a fire just about anywhere, with any
materials)
Stephanie Wilson - Robeau (lead robotic arm operator)
Dan Tani - Ichibo (Tani is Japanese-American; Ichi is Japanese for "one"
and means "first" or "best" when used as a prefix)
Paolo Nespoli - Rocky (couldn't think of a -bo nickname that fit, but he
does faintly resemble Stallone's other character)
