Sat here with a work mate and the subject of PC in the work place crops up.

We have perfectly acceptable terms in daily use.

nipples
cripple / cripple stud
flange
flaps

are just a few I've used in the last hour

But I'm sure there must be more....

pricking bar
bastard file

I actually own a hardened flange scraper.......

Of course you want to use a flange spreader first!

Perhaps a bit more plumbing, but 'ball cocks' are quite useful.

Nipple valves and the full range of flanges, including the blind ones

On one of our finishing lines we use Gag monitors and Sphinctor seals on two particular bits of kit. We also have the front and rear bulges. Another favourite is the terminology for the actual stuff being processed the 'Mother Liquor'. Just cos it sounds like what someone would shout on a crimewatch remake of a robbery, as in 'Hands up mother licker!!!'.

Point of order:

PC types would never form a brigade - far too neo-fascist militaristic terminology.

They'd have a non-specific collective with a "chair".

Just so you know.
