Applying Aboriculture Terms to daily Life.

[Treezybreez]

Do you ever find yourself borrowing arboricultural terms to describe non tree related things? For example today I found myself thinking that my son's diaper had reached field capacity. My wife is not impressed.

 

[Treezybreez]

Maybe I should have posted this in the, "not about trees" Tab?

 

[rockettree]

Good one, my wife was also unimpressed!

I discussed my plan for family finances with my wife by describing the process and purpose of cambistat. Then we figured out how to keep the budget discussion calm by comparing it to pruning

When I climb into the truck for a drive, I "buck in".

I had to do a crown reduction while manscaping the other day.

I have been to told to see inside some one you have to cut them down?

Treezybreez, the diaper has only reached field capacity when the gravitational water has drained! Although, I am very familiar with those amazing diapers and how all of the "water" is hygroscopic, right? And sometimes there can be an organic layer in there too.

And Tony, that's only if you want to see how old they are.

I have been known to say, "You Fir-cone idiot"

I call those big cow-like things "Auxin".
I refer to some people as "bud"
I wash my hands in the "Sink"
Shall I keep going...?

No, please don't.

TL, that is frasstastic! Hopefully there was no heading cut.

Sorry Tom for being the proximate cause of this thread. I can be a real nut some times.

Nice!

But if you want to take all the blame you are barking up the wrong tree!

I don't think my hairdresser would understand that I need some crown thinning. But I'll fire her if I ever come out looking like I've been pollarded.
