But every day I have to handle parts and pieces with weird and funny names.

For instance:

In your toilet:

Bung Ring
Ballcock


on a golf coruse:

Dog leg


Wood cutting:

A kerf blade
a Dado cutter

Electronics:

This is an actual tester and it is called...

a squealer.


Anyone got any other funny part names they see day to day?

A homewrecker

For the insulators:
Pookie

And one that just makes me laugh every time I hear it:
Duck Butter

Electrocautery-surgery unit aka "Bovie"

Cuts though tissues and stops bleeding at the same time.

When you smell the distinctive 'aroma' its a 'Bovie BBQ'
