We used Edge Cutting and Tapping cream for drilling holes and tapping. It was known only as "Boy Butter"
"Boy butter" is the name we electricians use for cable-pulling lubricant. Fire-stop putty is "monkey dung." Ratcheting cable cutters are "rabbit guns." We used to call the diagonal cutting pliers "dikes," but now we have to call them "women in comfortable shirts."
No matter where you go... there you are.
