Shop Rocket

A derogatory term main used among craftsmen who are members of trade unions. Describes a member who is a real “company man/woman”. An employee who is dedicated to one contractor and would rather satisfy their employer than show dedication to their brothers/sisters. Often seen bringing their own power tools to work, driving their personal vehicle to do company work in (hauling materials, etc), working extra hard to impress their foreman, etc. Will rat you out in a heartbeat. Don’t trust a shop rocket.

Member 1: Ol’ Conrad is a real shop rocket. Watch what you say around that fuckin’ guy. He will run and tell the boss.

Member 2: what a fuckin shoppy, fuck Conrad and fuck the boss lol.

Last Chicken in the Shop

Used to describe the unsightly dangly assortment of genital objects when a bloke pulls down his pants in a public place. So called because it's always the most mangy looking chicken that is the last one sold in the supermarket

"oh shit, Ben must have had a few beers, he's getting out the last chicken in the shop again"

"yeah mate - but it's more a poussin than a chicken"

shop senile

When someone at your work keeps telling you the same story over and over again. They have told so many people they cant remember who they told.

Bob is getting Shop Senile, he's told me that same story about him being pronounced dead in the bathtub 5 times.

talking shop

To discuss work, especially of a technical, jargon - filled nature.

At the party I met someone else who studies what I do and we spent the whole night talking shop and drove everyone else away.
