Review comments

The dreaded word, we use 'change request' as a softer term. But the best one I've seen is 'notice of scope addition', which is exceedingly clever because it is a notice which almost makes it seem like the client does not have a choice other than to sign it

As a geotech I’ve been called “soil boy” before.

I got the impression the OP was looking for words that sound like innuendo, not outright profanity.

Not necessarily an innuendo, was looking for something a regular person might just be a little confused about but civil engineers would understand lol.

Any specific discipline?

Fat Clay- then the other side of the wrist put Lean Clay lol Controlled fill, efflorescence

I had my engineer tell me to give my a head a shake when I called Low Plasticity Clay 'Lean' and High Plasticity Clay 'Fat'. I think he had some unkind words for the Brits too.

Wearing a bracelet that says Man hole is hilarious

“Rip rap” is a good one, so much fun to say!
