Hi Robert,
 
That is kind of funny. I had a similar experience in the past. I was helping
a friend replace a radiator. When i was done pulling it i had him repeat to
me what he needed. for the life of him he couldn't remember antifreeze. When
he was Half way to the store, he called me to ask once again what was the
fluid called that he needed. I then told him to just ask the parts guy for
radiator fluid, He said ok and said that was easier to remember. When he got
back to the house, he told me that the guy at the store was laughing at him
when he asked for radiator fluid. I didn't really understand why the guys
had such a kick out of the expression, because it is totally accurate.

Is any one fermiliar with the following?
4 way as a term used for what some would call an x wrench that has either 4
sizes for removing lug nuts or 3 sizes and a flattened end for prying off
hub caps.
The second is a doughnut for the space saver spair tires.
And last I admit sounds hoky but I got tung tied one time and called Anti
freeze "Radiator fluid" My cousin in law will not let me live that one
down.
It is not the proper term but it absolutely is an accurate description.
Robert
