Barry Posted February 16, 2017 Report Share Posted February 16, 2017 When I started working here, I got confused a lot as the terminology is slightly different. For example, one car came in and I was told it needed balance rod ends. I never heard of a balance rod end before and asked someone to show me. Ah! Drop links! Similar has happened to me a few times. So just for fun, here is some car related slang mechanics use in Ireland. If you have any weird words from your own country, I'd love to hear it. Car - Yoke/Rod Race car - Slut/Slag Cheap car - Shunter Big car - Bus Car that overheats a lot (yes, you jeepers boys) - Kettle Brakes - Anchors Engine - Plant/Donkey Gearbox - Gearbag Heater - Stove/Oven Seats - Chairs Tyres - Rubber Headlights - Candles Battery - Electricity Twincam - Twin tub Petrol - Juice Colored diesel - Ribena 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barry Posted February 18, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2017 I don't get the jeep thing and I don't want to get the jeep thing. I've heard it hurts when you pee. Anyway, barbie drives a jeep. That tells me all I need to know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
