Yes, as I've stated before, I'm mechanically challenged and know little about the internal workings of a car engine, but I've always found amusement and delight in "car words." I had forgotten about my earlier discovery of this jargon so unfamiliar to me until posting a Facebook comment today. Maybe I simply have a vivid imagination, but the automotive jargon can certainly be entertaining.
Did you realize there were so many "naughty" terms used in car words? Some of my favorites involve actual parts. I have no idea what these parts are or do, but they definitely heat up my engine, I mean imagination. I particularly like crankshaft, head gasket (especially when blown!), pistons, camshaft push rod, heater, drive belt, tail pipe, heat shield, fuel injector, turbo charger, shift lever, ball joint, and even smaller things like o ring and screw. Heck! Muzzle, tie bar, pinion, and slave cylinder even sound like something from 50 Shades of Grey. This list of car words is obviously not complete as you can include terms like rack and chassis or even lube and combustion stroke.
A number of women complain when their significant others only want to jabber about cars. I think there's another way to look at the situation, a more positive view. So, no, I don't mind when a guy babbles mechanical car words once in a while; I'm smiling inside at all the delicious, sexy words he's murmuring to me.
