Any member of any team in the National Basketball Association who is lacking the requisite athleticism one might usually expect from a hoopster who is earning a salary that could feed a third-world nation. The term is derived from the NBA's "plumber's era" (1988-1995) when expansion teams diluted the talent pool in such a manner that fans would complain that perhaps these ballers were not pulled from blueblood college programs or elite overseas leagues, but rather the owners were attempting to pass-off (no pun intended) members of a blue-collar profession such as plumbing as actual star performers.
You can't blame LeBron James for not winning more rings than Michael Jordan, he always had to carry a team full of plumbers!

Plumber's Crack 

See also Bum Crack and Plumber. In general, when you have a water leak and you call a plumber to check it out, they always show up, bend over and a portion of their crack can be seen above their beltline.
Ha ha. She bent over to give Carly a hug and she showed a plumber's crack.

Plumber's Cocktail 

Half a pint of beer mixed with half a pint of CLR. Gives you an awesome buzz, and in right quantities, can cause hallucogenic effects.
I drank a Plumber's Cocktail once. And then I killed a bus driver!

Plumber’s Grease

When your ass is all dirty and greasy and you desperately need a re-wipe.
I got bad plumber’s grease. I’m all itchy.

plumber's smile 

a view of the top of the buttocks and gluteal cleft while a man's pants descend due to bending over(because it frequently happens to overweight plumbers, carpenters, etc.)
The plumber's smile that the road worker over there has is appalling.

plumber femme

A femme lesbian who isn't above getting her hands dirty. She's nobody's little princess, and she's not going to sit in the car while her dyke tries unsuccessfully to fix a flat. She can do it herself and, more than likely, can do it better than a hard butch or most men can.
How hot is that! My girl fixed my engine! She's so plumber femme!
