A line counter is a construction worker stuck in their old ways, unwilling to adopt adopt new products or technology to make lives easier or faster. They reject the notion that any improvements could be made to tools or processes used in construction and home improvements and prefer to things the traditional way out of stubbornness and technology aversion.
That plumber John is a real line counter, the dude is still using a hand powered drill and flip phone since 2005.

Get the Symmetric Linemug. The designation given to any incredibly overpaid baseball player who, in the middle of the contract, suddenly cannot hit over .150. Named for Chris Davis, Baltimore Orioles first baseman, who signed a $161 million contract over seven years. See Mendoza Line.
"Wow, that guy can really hit! We gotta sign him."
"Dude, that guy has more holes in his swing than a zebra has stripes. Two years from now he'll be struggling to reach the Davis Line."

Get the The Davis Linemug. A form of communication used by a JTAC (Joint Terminal Attack Controller) in the military to get Close Air Support onto a target. Not like the stupid "We need air support!" bullshit in movies. Each "Line" is a statement of brevity that represents information given to the pilot. 1st line is IP/BP to target, etc.
the 9 line is passed off to the pilot, who then reads back lines 4, 6, and 8. After that, the JTAC will pass on additional info or remarks, before a "Talk on" (basically the JTAC and pilot communicating to ensure that they are on target) Following the talk on the pilot makes their "IN" call before being cleared hot to drop ordnance. Then, boom. Shit blows up I guess.

Nine Line: (JTAC) "Recoil 1-1, Widow 5-1, as fragged, 270 offset north, 10.4, 3-0-0 feet, mechanized column, grid 0-7-0-7
Keypad 7, target marked with laser code 1688, 700 meters southwest, pilot discretion."
Line 4, 6, and 8 readback: (Pilot) "Widow 51, Recoil11, read back, 3-0-0 feet, 0-7-0-7 keypad 7, 700 meters southwest. Ready remarks"
Pilot requests the talk on (Pilot) "Widow 51, Recoil 11, ready talk on. I see an east-west road with some buildings to the south."
Pilot confirms target location: (JTAC) "Recoil 11, Window 51, call contact on the northern most building in that group south of the road."
(Pilot) "Contact."
Pilot makes the IN call to begin the attack: (Pilot) "Widow 51, Recoil 11, In from the east, 30 seconds"
JTAC clears the pilot to attack the target: (JTAC) "Cleared hot"
