Wikipedia Inter article also gives a screwdriver/braggart figure/metaphore to the rivalry.

The rivalry is especially heated since Inter broke off from AC Milan. Inter was seen as the middle-class club (nicknamed baüscia, a Milanese term meaning "braggart"), whereas AC Milan was the working-class team (nicknamed casciavit, meaning in the Milanese dialect both "screwdriver", with reference to the operation of Milan's street cars and the working-class people who used them, and "awkward") and was, and still is, mostly supported by migrants from Southern Italy.
