Do You Have A Nick Name For Your Trade?

We are siding guys and refer to our selves as turd polishers. So what do you all call yourselves? Brick layers we call motar forkers.

That's not what I call them, but this is a family oriented forum.

Re: Do You Have A Nick Name For Your Trade?

I don't know any good nicknames for trades that I would think haven't already been heard.
But I once had a British girlfriend who, when it was that time of the month, used to say "The painters are in".
