some folks in these parts call wheelbarrows Mexican Recliners, since if you drive by a job site around lunch, the wheelbarrows are used as seats,

Of course, no jobsite is complete without the people. Where there are people, there is conflict, and were there is conflict, there is creative name calling.

Example: FITWE = Fucking In The Way Electrician.
FARK = Fucking Asshole Redneck Carpenter.

I was a FARK.

I worked with a guy who called zip ties for bundling stuff "chicken dicks". As in, "hey, toss me a chicken dick."


"I vowed to myself to fight against evil more completely and more wholeheartedly than I ever did before. . . . That’s the only way to pay back part of that vast debt, to live up to and try to fulfill that tremendous obligation."

Alfred Hornik, Sunday, December 2, 1945 to his family, on his continuing duty to others for surviving WW II.

Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

The definition of the words we used, carry a meaning of their own...

A typesetter's ruler is called a line gauge, everyone called them pica sticks because we measured in picas and points and not inches.
