An
original-oldschool old-timer construction worker's term for lunchbox. During this
era, dukies were made from
tin, and the thermoses had glass liners in them.
As horseplay and pranks were overlooked on the job in the old days, a man's dukie was definitely off limits, as much as his vehicle,
home and
family, by (honor). Now, a guy wouldn't hesitate to steal your lunch or your meds, let
alone your wallet or your phone if he had half a chance.....so much for (union brotherhood).....
