bubble chaser

US Air Force slang term for a pneumatic systems technician, derived from the major cause of most malfunctions being a small leak that admits air bubbles into a hose or line.

The controls are a little too spongy. Better let the bubble chasers check it out before its next flight.

Creationasst

A Creationist.

A portmanteau word formed from Creation+ass+t. One could also use Creationass, but adding that "t" just sounds so much more poetic.

Butt Set

Special test phone used by telephone repairmen. It has alligator clips on the leads so it can be quickly attached to the line connection screws on a circuit panel.

It is derived from the word "butt-in-ski" because it can be used to eavesdrop on phone calls.

For a photo, search Google Images for "butt set"

The line itself is dead. I hooked my butt set to the main panel and couldn't get a dial tone.
