Somewhere in a tree
Let's hear them, I know you got some.

My dad is semi retired and works with me a lot. He has done the odd tree with me for years but he works with me on a regular basis now. He has heard me say belay and he has heard me say flake the rope. His word is flay or fillet. Haven't figured out which yet. He asked me today if I wanted him to flay my throw line back in the cube. I didn't refudiate him. Hey, Shakespeare made up words all the time... I just told him yeah, yeah, go ahead and flay it in there... :)

Another one we say a lot is satisfaction guarantreed ... :D
 
Noonem, That's when you take the crew to the strip club for lunch and take the rest of the day off... Noonem.

Great for moral and team building... :D
 
Seems like a lot of tree terms sound sexual, which makes me laugh when I yell them at the groundies and wondering what the homeowners must think.

It always brings a smile to guys faces when you tell them that you are looking for a nice smooth crotch....
 
Petrified wood! For real.
Jeff :)

Pretty cool.

I did a job for a 90 YO guy about a year and a half ago. He had a petrified log in his landscaped area that he picked up in the petrified forest in AZ back when one could still do that. It was neat as ####.

That reminds me, whenever we hit the woods with a roll of TP we say we are going to take a Jeff and wipe our Lovestrom... :hmm3grin2orange:

That is, after we put our man suits on... :)
 
Stump broke: The art of breaking in a groundie... stump broke.
I grew up in the country and around here stump broke referred to a farm animal that was willing to back up to a stump while the farm boy stood on the stump and ........... well, you can figure out the rest. If you told people that you were teaching your groundies to be stump broke you'd get some pretty strange looks. Probably have a hard time getting good groundies too.

Edited for more specific clarification. ;)

Right on the money. I knew an amish kid that got caught in bovine romance and he took a lot of abuse because of it. That was 40 years ago. Not sure why since premarital whatever didn't seem to be a big deal.
