Hey Jersey guys.
I was on another forum and the term "liner" came up for trimmer/ jack. Is that term still used?? I think I've asked about Lally columns, flitch plates, 5/4, and taylor ham. I can't remember anyone mentioning liners. Almost 30 years since I framed in Passaic County and a few others. I finally lost my jersey accent but I think it could come back if I got in a argument.

Rob,
Maybe it was me on another forum because I always say liners and no one knows what I mean. Now I'll say trimmers/liners. It must be a Jersey thing.

See, now that I believe. I thought it was going to be a Jersey name for a structural part of a house.

I've always called them Liners until I started coming onto forums four years ago. I always use the term jacks for the under the window sills.
What do you guys call the overhangs on a gable end? I called them "Fly Rafters" and used to call them "Flying Gables".
You know what I here most Homeowners and quite a few contractors call for flat ceiling joists......they call them "Ceiling Rafters".

Hey Joe. 20+ years ago Subs changed to Grinders somewhere in Connecticut. Do you still have Grinders? Down in Philly they were called Hoagies. There might have been some slight changes.
