I've already missed two weeks! It's so difficult to catch up! I have so many questions! I'm so confused! But, first things first: "answer to the name of ..." In your example you don't use the phrase word for word, so can I say: "At work, everyone calls me Uee, but when at home I only answer to Phooey"? I don't actually have to use "...the name of.." Will that be correct? Or do I have to say "when at home I only answer to the name of Phooey"?
Welcome to Collocation of the Week - a site for advanced students of English. Each week I take a common word and look at five collocations of it, one a day. At the end of the week there is a short test where you can see what you have remembered. If you want a PDF of the week's collocation, press the link at the bottom of the page.

Hello Yulia - yes, you can use the phrase either way. Is that really your name at home? That's a tough house...
