I rarely make claims of great knowledge, and I get very itchy when people try to ascribe them to me e.g. "you're a hard science fiction author" WOAHH....I just know how to use Google, ok? and "well, you're a farmer" - hey hey now, I LARP on the weekends, I don't pay the bills

So a super, super common thing in my circles is to say, "I'm not an artist, I'm a painter.". I think it's mostly meant to short-circuit the "well, what is art" conversation, and replace it with something less pretentious and more objective.
