turd strangler
An Australian slang term, rare and decidedly vulgar, used to refer to a plumber.
Definitions
An Australian slang term, rare and decidedly vulgar, used to refer to a plumber. The logic is crude but undeniable — plumbers deal with pipes, blockages, and all the unpleasant stuff that clogs them. It's the kind of nickname that might get a laugh at a barbeque but probably shouldn't appear on a business card. Classic Aussie irreverence: no profession is too respectable to escape a colorful nickname.
When the kitchen drain backed up completely, Dazza joked they'd have to call the turd strangler.
