Also used with general duct work. I have a bar of it in the basement that I've had for probably 30 or 35 years.

Elephant snot - brown construction adhesive that came in a caulking tube. Used it to build our log home. Sika-flex is a brand name. Needed a caulking gun with it. Got it everywhere as it didn’t wipe off very well. Also used for boat building. 25 year guarantee on the stuff.

In my Navy days - “Boomer” was a nuclear armed submarine.

And a “fish in the water” ?

I always thought "Boomer" was from the FBM (Fleet Ballistic Missile) label, but either works.

I believe "Fish in the water" is a torpedo, AKA a "torpecker". When your sonar guy calls "fish in the water" you can hear assholes slamming shut all over the place.

Blue Point Wrench also.

Also, 3M Super Weatherstrip Adhesive, we called it yellow death.

Tightening a critical fastener without the use of a torque wrench was "calibrated arm"

One car dealership I worked at,we renamed the hack saw, in honor of one of our technicians with a propensity for shortcutting everything possible, it became a "George saw".

A "Donkey Dick"- a vibrator used when pouring concrete.

100 mph tape - the OD green tape used in the Army.

A couple of years ago, I was in the PX and saw "90 mph tape." It's the same tape, only not as wide or large a roll.

Screw drivers: plus (Phillips head) and minus (slotted head)

Reduce-a-rator - The device used anytime we are running PVC pipe and we have to reduce by two or more steps (down) in pipe size. Not a tool but a device so this one may not qualify for the Karma.....

In the machine shop:
"Guessing stick" = calipers
(Micrometers are used for accurate measurements)
"All sixteenths" = adjustable wrench

Also used for the connectors between lifts of pipe staging. Alternatively called a "horse cock".
