<p>Multiple Uses for the "Motherfucker" Part</p>
<p>Pinlock=28' Double Truss</p>
<p>Cuplock=Boiler Foundry Ladder</p>
<p>Safway=7' Steel Stair Sections</p>
<p>You may not like "bucks" but where do you think "buck-hoist" came from?</p>
<p>One of my alltime favorites is dealing with stage hands who call rigid clamps "cheeseburgers"</p>

<p>Justin,</p>

<p>I have the feeling that we have been here befor. A "buck" can stand for a "horse" and if you take it back in time , originally, we put up two saw horses and covered them with plank, and then put two saw horses on top of that, etc, etc. and there you have buck up or bucks.</p>
