citizen: "Boss, Ramsey is on the phone for you."

sarcastic boss: "Poor Ramsey.  It must have been terrible to grow up named after a condom."

citizen: "Yeah, I'm sure he was ribbed about it constantly."

sarcastic boss: "Damn you."

What Brits call a queen closer brick, see image, is what we in Holland call a 'paardenlul' which translates as 'horse cock'. You can see why.

 Flushed Grollings ... Classic Fry and Laurie

best seen on the youtube

**************************************************

Hugh Help you, sir?

Stephen Um, a dozen grollings please.

Hugh Flushed or galvanised?

Stephen Flushed.

Hugh Right. That be it?

Stephen A copper flange-pipe, braced, two jubilees, seven nipples ...

Hugh Greased?

Stephen Greased nipples, yeah. Five olive-spantles, jigged and onioned.

Hugh Twelve or seventeen mill?

Stephen Twelve. Metre of fleeling wire, coaxial, twenty UJ's and a parping couplet.

Hugh Male or female?

Stephen Male. No, second thoughts, one of each.

Hugh Do you want the parping couplet standing proud?

Stephen No, embarrassed I think.

Hugh An embarrassed parping couplet. That it?

Stephen Two rolls of spowling tape.

Hugh Double-sided?

Stephen Do they do single-sided?

Hugh Only in Viennese lengths.

Stephen Better go with double then. Six sheets of gruddock paper.

Hugh Parkinised?

Stephen No.

Hugh Right.

Stephen Nearly there. Four felching pens and a bevelled spill-trunion.

Hugh Only got one felching pen left. Got some frotting pencils though.

Stephen Will they do?

Hugh Well, you know the thrush-plate?

Stephen Yeah.

Hugh You can use a frotting pencil on that, rude to the look-out valve on the fumpspoke and you can cut out the felching altogether. As long as you rim the satchel-arm properly first.

Stephen Right. Four frotting pencils then.

Hugh So, that's it, is it?

Stephen Yup.

Hugh You've already got a clip-jawed double lock brace have you?

Stephen Do you reckon I'll need one?

Hugh Well, are you going straight or curved?

Stephen Straight, then curved.

Hugh Ah. Well you should be all right then, as long as you remember to suck the clenching pin tight to the arc thrust.

Stephen slaps Hugh in the face.

Stephen How dare you.

Hugh Sorry.

I saw a set of drawings where every note saying "stud" had been abbreviated to STD.  So, not only did they have to add that to their list of abbreviations (and cause confusion with standard), but they gave the whole building VD.  All to save one letter.

Wedding blogs and other bits of the wedding industrial complex all seem to use STD for 'save the date'. 

How far ahead to send your STD  ? what stationary / fonts /glitter to use for your STD ?  Who to send an STD.....etc etc

never ceases to amuse  !

Lube cock. I have this site plan of a campus from the 60's and it literally says all over it 4 1/2" lube cock, 8 1/2" lube cock... Apparently they are buried in the lawn all over.

Live load, dead load (yikes), moving load, transient load ("happens to the best of us"), structural load, imposed load, dynamic load, wind load, snow load, seismic load, hydrostatic load, ponding load, environmental load (talking to you hippies), mechanical load and last but not least dust load (for the boomers out there).
