Had a guy from West Virginia one time ask if I had any “nipping cables” , “jumper cables” in North Carolina speak. I never did get my head around how or why they arrived at nipping cables. That’s been 30 years ago and I still have t figured out the reasoning. Not picking on West Virginia as I know folks who say hainkanade “hand grenade”, plascit “plastic”, southsquatch, “Sasquatch”, old timers, “Alzheimer’s” and on and on.



Fred K, this wasn’t a dig at you as jumper machine makes perfect sense to me.
