From below, there was a discussion regarding slang terms specific to surveying.

I ran across this page of wild land fire fighting terms. They have us beat by a mile for the number of slang terms. I found it interesting.

"whistle pigs" meaning groundhogs....
I knew that one from my Appalachian buddies when I lived in the western NC mountains.

Cicadas around here north west of Atlanta are often referred to as "tree-hogs".

yswami,

It's driving me nut's, what is the significance of the "war paint" on your avatar? You are not planning to overthrow Queen Liliuokalani are you? 😉

Have a great week! B-)
