by LifesAJourney Jul 31, '12Just wanted to see if the nicknames we call certain items are the same names you guys call them lol. I work in the midwestern region.
Examples include:
1.) "Bubblier" for humidifier
2.) "Ice pack" for the polar pack and the original ice pack
3.) "Patches" for tele electrodes
4.) "Stickers" for labels
5.) "Booties" for spenco boots
6.) "Christmas tree" for O2 connector
That is all I can think of at the moment. Feel free to add to the list. I am looking forward to seeing new nicknames I haven't hear before
