Word Quiz!

Can you guess what these words or phrases mean? I'll give you the word, what a common definition MIGHT be, then what it actually is.

1. Tatuh fork: a utensil used for poking and eating potatoes? Nope, it's a curved pitch fork used to dig in the ground.

2. Dump site: the desired location in which one will defecate? Sorry, this is a place to offload one's cargo, be it wood waste or someone's former front lawn.

3. Mini X: a smaller version of the party drug ecstasy? Wrong again, this is a miniature excavator (also called a trackhoe, dinosaur, transformer, or diggerman).

These are just a few of the phrases I have learned while working a landscaping job.
