Welding terms (new lows)

[JonnyTIG]

Yeah, I got a dirty look from someone once while talking to a fellow tradesman about rolling joints. That is, the conversation was about fixed pipe welds vs spooling or hand rolled.

One day I was having a convorsation with my friend about welding and was talking about penetration and two guys and a girl walked by me and gave us the weirdest look, then I finally realized why they looked at em funny and laughed. my new rule is no talking about welding terms in public anyone else have something happen like that?
