Jig -Fixture-Template - Politically Correct

the term jig should not be allowed in the shops any longer. They should be
referred to as fixtures or templates or devices!

Interesting. As a general rule, _lawyers_ are not allowed in my shop.

My understanding of the word *Jig* is a device that can be altred to suit a
particulr size.
So it is politcally incorrect and should not be confused with the word
*Template* which is a fixed sized device.

With that type reasoning, I drive a dark neutral car with cracker pin

Here's a couple along the same line:
You may recall the D.C. city aide that was fired several years ago
(although sensibly rehired) after having used "niggardly" in a speech
to the locals. Protests aplenty from plenty who had no idea what that
word means.
More locally, I was an air traffic controller for 30 years. We used
plastic holders--about 1綞8" to hold the strips that we used to record
data on each flight we were working. The strips were held in a
vertical steel bay that could accommodate 19 strips. There were
anywhere from two to five bays per sector. Anyway, ATC protocol is
whenever something needs to be done with a particular flight that you
can't do immediately you cock the strip--that is lift one end, slide
the strip to the right or left, and let the far end hold the strip up,
out of the plane of the rest of the strips on that edge.
Anyway, sometime in the '90s, someone got a wild hair that "cock" was
not an appropriate word to use in the modern, sensitive, gender
neutral environment we were now working in. So, ignoring the
particular definition of "cock" in use, even though it was correct,
and ignoring other variations such as "cock" (rooster), "cock"
(valve), and "cock" as in cocked hat, all of which can be comfortably
used in mixed company, so far as I know, they started teaching "tilt"
at the Academy. It just made me want to scream. I'm glad I left in
'97.

I recall being chastised rather severely for using the word "bitch" in
mixed company. The conversation at that point had touched on dog
breeding.

You may want to rethink your comment about using lawyers for pushsticks.
On account that lawyers are often slippery. And a general safety hazard.

Saber Saws or Scroll Saws. The jig saw is or has been been called both.
But on another note, how about , The Jig is up, or Can you dance the Jig?
LRod
Or gigahertz or gigabyte.
For those who pronounce them correctly.

What was your status during the strike in 81?
Just curious - I'm a Pilot (private/IFR) so I know some ATC types and
most were hired after the strike.

I spent 20 months "on the street." I eventually won my appeal (we all
appealed) and was reinstated.
As a matter of fact, I just met last week with a couple of hundred
fellow controllers from the Class of '81 during which we commemorated
the 25th anniversary.

Steenkin' lawyers. How does it go? Them as can does. Them as
can't teaches. Them as can't do either work at McDonalds. And them as
don't qualify for McDonalds become lawyers. Sumpthin' like that.
The term crooked lawyer is redundant.
Lawyer is the only white collar "profession" that does not require
a college degree.
How do you tell a dead lawyer from a dead snake on the highway?
The dead snake has skid marks in front of it from people braking.
Why has a lawyer never been bitten in a shark attach? Professional
courtesy.

Teamwork is very important. It gives you someone to blame.

NO, its fine the way it is. Take that Politically Correct S**T and
shove it. I'm so sick and tired of hearing it.
Do you know what to call a lawyer laying face down? A good start!

Don't know if any of you follow "Dirty Jobs" on Discovery or not, but in
one of the episodes, the host is at a facility that builds the skeletons
for educational institutions. One of his "jobs" was to pour out the
contents of a tub that had a Capibura decaying in water for some time to
separate the constituent parts from the bones. The company representative
indicated that this was the worst smelling job they had. As the host was
separating out the bones while wearing latex gloves, the company
representative added, "oh, by the way, the smell tends to penetrate the
rubber gloves, so after this is done, your hands are going to smell like
decaying capibura for a few days".
Kinda wonder whether your "cured and dried" lawyer parts wouldn't have
the same problem. :-) [Yeah, it was a long way to go for that punch
line]

Me too ... only the word in question was "whelp"; used in reference to the
woman who lived across the hallway from me.
