That's a fairly widely used term, isn't it? I guess I was thinking more
along the lines of personalized nicknames for less common parts. As I
mentioned in my reply to Larry, I'm not in the least suggesting that anyone
else adopt nicknames that I or you or anyone else has for specific parts. I
just figure that someone else must have short-cut nicknames that they've
assigned to certain parts... such as your example below.

Tim, it will require years of therapy to get that name/image out of my head.
I'll send you the bill. ;)
Thanks for sharing though... I think.
All the best,
