TELEPHONE MEN
HAVE LANGUAGE
ALL THEIR OWN
Dictionary OF Slang Required To IN
derstand Jarson OF Knights
OF Pole.

"The straw boss seq to me, Get out
the dinkey and the dolley and be sure
the grunt has the deadman handy to
set tho stick"
Sounds sort of queer, doesn't It?
But it ISN'T 1t is simply the vernacu-
lar of the telephone lineman. These
telephone linemen have a language all
their own. Just how some OF the
terms originated which are so COM
mon in the craft is more or less OF a
mystery, but they have been handed
down from one generation to another.
with the result that the country over
they are accepted and understood
wherever a gang Of linemen may be
at work, whether 1t be In Abilene,
Texas, Keene, N. H., or Walla Walla,
Washington.
When the lineman talks about tele-
phone poles he never refers to them
as such. He calls them sticks. The
foreman in charge of his crew Ia
known as the boss and the man next
in charge is always termed the straw
boss. The repairman is known as
the trouble shooter or as the bug
hunter. The climbers which he uses
are known as spurs or hooks, and the
leather strap which is placed around
the pole is termed the safety.
The lineman's helper on the ground
is known as the ground hog or more
frequently as the "grunt." 1t is his
duty to keep the lineman supplied
with materials and to look after his
tools. and the term generally used for
any tool or piece OF material is GIN
mick. The dinkey is the small cart
used for transporting poles, and the
dolley is the board or boards equipped
with a roller for handling poles. The
deadman is the forked tool used in
holding a pole which is being raised,
and the term is also applied to the
log used for anchors.
Then there is also the Irishman
which, when translated, is found to
be what is known as the pulling-up
clamp. namely heavy piece OF metal
with many bolts attached to II which
is used to attach to the cable strand
The bride wires on the poles are
known as jumpers and the line used
TO draw in q pulling line is termed the
fish or snake. The insulators used on
the cross-arms Of telephone poles are
always referred to as glasses.
