doodlebug

Although it is used to describe an ant lion who builds conical mounds to trap it's prey and the dung beetle who lays its eggs in little balls of cow pies then rolls them backwards to who knows where, oilfield workers know this term as describing a person who is in the oil exploration business. Mainly seismic crews.

"Some doodlebugs use dynamite to find oil and others use vibrators". "Those damn doodlebuggers tore up my cottonfield with their trucks again"

My father was a "doodlebugger" in the 40's and 50's. He was a respectable and clean shaven man.
Nor was he a drunk or over weight. Never drank or smoked. I can't speak for the men he worked with.
But I do know this for sure for my father. I have witnessed other oil field workers to be the same, and maybe few and far between, but should not be judged as so and thrown all in the same group.
His job turned out to be very respectable and lucrative career for him.

My father was a doodlebugger for Gulf Oil.
