ROFLMAO that is excellent... kinda reminds me of the prank terms used on trainees/newbies in Germany who are asked to get certain items from another department or from a shop somewhere such as: - for construction jobs: "Siemens Lufthaken" a special air hook to hold things (in the air of course), - for mechanics: "Kolbenrückholfeder" the piston retractor spring/coil needed in one cylinder engines, - for nurses and doctor's assistants: "Rahmen für das Blutbild" a pun on "bild" meaning picture/image: the frame for the blood count, - for surgical nurses: "Rückenmarksverlängerer" the spinal cord extension/extender, and of course noone knows what they're talking about or they get sent elsewhere or pranked some more... I wonder if there are equivalents to that in other countries - your turn now!
