That term brings back memories..The old timers in our machine shop used to have fun with their green-as-grass trainees. They would tell them to get a sky-hook from the tool crib. Always good for a cheap laugh..Or tell them get some “virgin oil” to lube their micrometer. Or tell them to cut a little more off, “just a c—- hair.” A really small amount was “a red c—- hair.” One guy would ask if the trainee wanted to know “where the horse bit him.” If yes, the guy would show him..I know it’s probably kind of offensive to some of you, but that’s real life.
