Hangar Hound

Someone who spends a lot of time around aircraft. See ramp rat, airport bum.

A "hangar" is a structure in which aircraft are kept. Many times you will find mechanics and/or pilots spending time there, talking about flying and telling stories. A Hangar Hound need not be a pilot or mechanic, but can just like being near aviation.

I had a good chat with the other hangar hounds the other day, we were discussing the air show coming up in June.

toe the line

To behave according to strict rules. Sometimes an order given, especially to a child.

Somewhat archaic.

Angry father: "You'd better toe the line this time, mister, or next time I catch you tattooing your sister's name on shaved dogs you'll be grounded for a month!"

schnoodle

Addendum to my previous definition of schnoodle:

More precisely, a schnoodle is two guys sharing one foreskin in an erotic manner. Head to head. Ya dig?

The two guys were really into each other so they started some hot schnoodle action.

Goo Chief

A person in charge of cleaning up messes at the Olympic Flight Museum and elsewhere. Usually armed with a mop and bucket.

The word has roots in "Crew Chief," who is a person in charge of maintaining a particular aircraft.

His counterpart is the Pile-it.

That Goo Chief is going to have a really big mess to clean up after the party!

Take one

In the movie business, "take one" is the first try at filming a particular scene. It is what is called out at the beginning. If the actors mess up the lines, etc, it will go to "take two" or "take three" or "take forty-seven."

"Take one!" shouted the director as the scene began.

I could buy you and sell you

Essentially, "I am much richer than you." A stronger form of "I could buy you." Usually a derisive phrase.

"I could buy you and sell you," said Bill Gates to his impoverished employee.
