Occupational nicknames \u2013 <\/span><\/b>by Des Kelly<\/span><\/span><\/h1>\n

Totally different “little piece” coming into e’Lanka via our good friend Keith Bennett, via one of his good friends Ralph Baker, obviously. As Ralph puts it, whoever has had a steady job in Oz., would have had the memorable occasion of meeting up\/with one of the characters mentioned.<\/span>
\nThank you Keith (and Ralph, of course), for this most amusing “post” on Occupational nicknames.<\/span><\/p>\n

Occupational nicknames<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n

\"Occupational<\/p>\n

EVERY WORKPLACE IN AUSTRALIA HAS ONE THESE CHARACTERS\u00a0‍️<\/span><\/p>\n

Under the headline Nicknames for Co-workers, it lists the titles applied to annoying colleagues and their bad habits.<\/span><\/p>\n

From \u201cthe sensor light\u201d to \u201cthe bushranger\u201d, the list seems to have covered just about every kind of police workplace pest.<\/span><\/p>\n

But, let\u2019s face it, anyone who has ever held down a job has been stuck with some or all of these characters. They are:<\/span><\/p>\n

G-spot:<\/strong>\u00a0you can never find him.<\/span><\/p>\n

Wicketkeeper:<\/strong>\u00a0puts on gloves and stands back.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sensor light:<\/strong>\u00a0only works when someone walks past.<\/span><\/p>\n

Blister:<\/strong>\u00a0appears when the hard work is done.<\/span><\/p>\n

Bushranger:<\/strong>\u00a0holds everyone up.<\/span><\/p>\n

Harvey Norman:<\/strong>\u00a0three years, no interest.<\/span><\/p>\n

Two-stroke:<\/strong>\u00a0hard to get started and always smokes.<\/span><\/p>\n

Lantern:<\/strong>\u00a0not very bright and has to be carried.<\/span><\/p>\n

Grenade:<\/strong>\u00a0waiting for him to pull the pin.<\/span><\/p>\n

Morphine:<\/strong>\u00a0slow-moving dope.<\/span><\/p>\n

Showbag:<\/strong>\u00a0full of shit.<\/span><\/p>\n

Seaweed:<\/strong>\u00a0floats around all day and stinks.<\/span><\/p>\n

Deck chair:<\/strong>\u00a0folds under pressure.<\/span><\/p>\n

Penguin:<\/strong>\u00a0always on the ice.<\/span><\/p>\n
