While I was slipping an olive onto my 15mm pipe... Got me thinking there are some strange names in various trades and pass times...

What you got? And perhaps a little description too for those not in the know.

A vamp….This meant a woman who is very good at seducing men and casting them under her spell to do what she wants. Not one of the most socially progressive slang words of the 1920s but who does love a vamp or being a vamp.

Sat in a meeting with a new boss once and he asked for ideas son how to drive the business forward. So I put an idea to him and he came out with the immortal line

"OK, well let's put that idea through the cappuccino machine and see if it comes out frothy...."

To this day, I'm still not entirely sure what he meant. Needless to say, he did not last long in that role though!
