I wish I hadn't read that Viagra/Cialis stuff, because I'm about to tell Grandma she's the Geezer Pleaser, and I suspect it won't go well.

A car thief would be a steelie-wheelie.

A library would be a bookie-nookie. (Has nothing to do with the sex life of bet collectors.)

For that matter, a bookie would be a better-getter.

A drywall contractor would be a wallie-installie.

Someone who's broke and makes hats, whose clothes are falling off his back, but winds up in jail, would be a fettered tattered hatter.

This is a bit off topic, but it falls under the category of funny things to call stuff.
This happened a few years ago. An elderly lady came up to me at work and as she handed me the bathroom key, she told me as a matter of fact that we were out of "A$$ gaskets" in the restroom. I says, wot? And she walked away grinning.
So I asked a co-worker what an A$$ gasket was, we figured out she meant toilet seat covers. I now call toilet seat covers A$$ gaskets.
Funny things to call stuff can be sticky.
