Get your lingo straight with the Bobtionary

We’ve been pretty active on the old Facebook for a while now, and one of the most popular bits and pieces we’ve been posting up is the Bobtionary.

Of course, tradies have their own language – and that doesn’t just include smoko and FFF (the ‘mum friendly’ version is Fast Food Friday for those not in the know). There are a number of technical terms to learn once you’re on the job, and the Bobtionary is here to get you accustomed to all those uniquely builderly words before you venture out on the tools.

Here are a few top-notch examples of how old mate Bob has been enlightening the masses. For more Bobtionary entries or to ask us to define a tradie word you can’t quite crack the meaning of, head over to our Facebook page and chuck us a like.
