[AT] Names that have become generic

[Richard Strobel]

"Water Pump" pliers will always be angled slip joint.
"Dykes" will alway be diagonal wire cutters (Can I say that <vbg>)
"Shotgun" will always be the passenger side.
and if you had an automatic transmission, It was always the "Slushbox."
 "Donuts" were made by spinning your rig in a circle..not to be eaten.

And "Mickey's" were always fake whitewall tires.

later,
RickinMt.
