Pet Peaves in Mechanic's Lingo

I'm a old guy, the term 3/4 race applied to a cam grind that was suitable to be driven on the street. Full race cam was the next step that was thought to not be suitable for street use but race only. Cam specs weren't generally mentioned as no one knew anything about it. So if someone asked "what you running" the general reply would be something like "oh a 3/4 cam". When hot rodders started using the chevy small block things started getting more technical. The first small block chevy swap I ever saw was a 37 ford sedan with a 55' chevy 265 ci engine with a 39' Lincoln trans. The Lincoln's being V12 and heavy had stronger trans.
The term that pisses me off is when someone calls "push rods" "RODs". Rods are connecting rods, not push rods. There now I feel better.
