girth
inner wall
large load

LOL, i use some right words. Use a few of them ^^

The word Gussett makes me laugh when i use it.
 
Wow, I'd like to know what "deep throat" is actually a technical term for. I can conclude what the others mean, but that one's got me stumped.

Deep throat is a term used by the mechanical engineers to describe either ductwork or return air plenums.

i.e.
"This supply air duct has a deep throat so it my be difficult to get it under this beam":p
 
is it deep throat with two words, as in a throat that is deep, or is it the compound deep throat. The first would be deep throat with two main stresses and the latter would have only one stress.
 
NBS thanks for mentioning shaft. Now you have opened up a Pandora's box of new terms and sayings. LOL

Shaft penetration

"We need to work our way down from the very top to the very base of this shaft"

"We need to examine the nuances of this shaft"

"We need to massage this shaft to get it to fit in the space alotted"

"We need access to service the shaft"

"We can't get in and finish the shaft"

"just rough in the shaft"

Been a while since I've worked on a mid rise or high rise building so bear with me.
