ROFLMAO that is excellent... kinda reminds me of the prank terms used
on trainees/newbies in Germany who are asked to get certain items from
another department or from a shop somewhere such as:
- for construction jobs: "Siemens Lufthaken" a special air hook to
hold things (in the air of course),
- for mechanics: "Kolbenr?ckholfeder" the piston retractor spring/coil
needed in one cylinder engines,
- for nurses and doctor's assistants: "Rahmen f?r das Blutbild" a pun
on "bild" meaning picture/image: the frame for the blood count,
- for surgical nurses: "R?ckenmarksverl?ngerer" the spinal cord
extension/extender,
and of course noone knows what they're talking about or they get sent
elsewhere or pranked some more...
I wonder if there are equivalents to that in other countries - your
turn now!
