machinery names and tree lingo

[greengrafter]

Just wondering if anyone else has pet names for their machinery/ or has some good tree lingo they use. Or is it just us.

 

Here some of ours anyway

 

Wong chong= ms200t

G a varny= husky 372

chip stick/sir chip alot/wolf it up=tw 150

orchard clearer= Big Birtha

stihl pole saw= wond of love.

 

boom shack a la= When you cut a big top out and it gets the old heart beat going.

 

"don't cut any more off! anymore and it will look abit wayne'd= border line pruning.

 

 

or are we just mad?......probably
