It got me thinking about the terms I use while I am working, and if an outsider heard us talking they would be wwonder what we were on about.

 

For instance: "can you give this a blow"

"can you pull on this/give this a pull"

and my favourite "I need to give my saw a tickle before we get started"

 

Do you lot have any other terms you use that the muggles wouldn't understand?

I've said "Blow Job time" in the garden very loudly and didn't realise that the lady of the house was standing with a tray of tea behind me. Not my finest moment....
