Collecting tree guy sayings, as we kinda have our own language

EX: Pile Polisher, Let er run, advocatus pro abora, etc.

Watcha got!
 
"i wasn't trying to cut that down... i was simply testing it for stress factors and it failed"

"did that hit your truck?"

"buck it n' truck it"

"you do that on purpose?"

"TIMBER!!!!!!"
 
"we gettin deep in er now boys"

"let it run",(or eat)

"sling it" throwing a log,or fell

it varies from company to company
 
"Real pretty Bill" used after trimming an ornamental

"Banshee" to describe something thats big, tough,powerful. That is a banshee oak or a new chain on a ms660 is "cuttin banshee"

And my personal favorite...
"Atleast your workn!" used on jobs that are less than ideal.
 
"Watch out fer landmines!"

"Sail it"

"Humpin' wood"

"Mother ####er, cock sucker, son of a #####!" ( When you hit a nail )

"Perfect!" ( When you almost hit something )
 
"Filet em and flambe' em"

"I'm sick a more tree jokes"

"Another one bites the dust"

"Cabasas arribas!"

" Yes. I'm done already."

"Set up the seismograph"

"What do we do after lunch?"

"It doesn't get any better than this."

"Now we're loggin "

I think "headache" is pretty standard

Old foreman used to love " Run or die!"

My favorite is " almost finished" especially on a really crappy long hot day and you're only half way in.
