Construction is like this too.

Erection, nipples, rods, pipes, vibrators, lube, rope, caulk, penetrate, lay hardwood, and my all time favorite. “Hey Frank, come give me a reach around, I need an extra hand here”

Edit, nailing studs.

"Get me some oil so I can tap this tight hole. You're going to need to screw it hard, and then drop a double nut on it. Make sure to keep your bush clean, or you can try sticking your finger in and twisting it around, otherwise you'll never get this hard shaft into it. And remember: if it's walking funny when you drill, try putting the tip between a pair of nuts."

Maybe a bit more machining, but it's not even a stretch to make it sound absolutely terrible. Those are all even pretty reasonable statements in context (if you know zero slang), not just isolated words.

I love telling people who aren't from Cincinnati that I had a threeway with some strangers in a parking lot

That is, I ate a 3-way (Cincinnati chili, cheese, and spaghetti) in a parking lot on lunch break with some random plumbers who were also taking their break there

how do you know someone's from Cincinnati?

Don't worry, they'll tell you

I'll have you know that Cincinnati cuisine is the absolute greatest cuisine to EVER originate in Cincinnati

I cannot disagree. You guys need the tautology award for tautology award winners.

Some men are born great
Some men achieve greatness
... and some are from Ohio

Political slogan from the 1840's Presidential campaign ("Tippacanoe and Tyler too!")
