Subject: Non-standard Theatrical Terms<br>
Hello all, I'm in the process of compiling a glossary of nonstandard theatrical shop vocabulary. I'd appreciate it if everyone would dip into their proprietary glossaries and send me some good ones. Some examples to get you started:<br>
"wikki-wikki" & "fwubida" - terms relating to unit stability<br>
"doesee-doe" & "Iwo Jima" - referring to material handling<br>
and my favorite so far<br>
"Toblerones" - for periaktoi.<br>
Anyway, let me know if you've got a good one.<br>
Thanks much,<br>
David<br>

<br>
I'm wondering if there are additions given the fact we've had 20 years to come up with new things. I suspect Sarah will still be wiling to update as she has time. <br>
