40 years ago I was a lead mechanic's help in a shipyard. He sent me to the tool shack to get a 15" "limberdick" (what we called a flexible drill shaft). The black lady at the counter said, "May I help you?" I said, "Yes maam, may I have a 15" limberdick?" She said, "Whaaaa?" I thought she didnt hear me so I shouted, "Maam, may I have a 15" limberdick?" I received a reprimand for sexual harrassment, so...
we used to call diagonal cutters "dikes." got more than one sideways glqce from the homeowner when I sent my assistant to "grab those dikes from the truck."
Waiting for ABC, CBS, and NBC to simultaneously run this as a news story.
