Before I became a forklift driver at the last lumberyard I worked at I was training a new worker on what the product is and where it is in the yard. However I feeling like a prick and decided to teach him the wrong pronunciations of certain types of wood. For example OSB (a particle board cheap plywood) became pronounced Au-sb and G1S (good 1 side, one side of the plywood has been sanded and finished) became jizz, MDO (a thin smooth surface has been put on one side of the plywood) became Mm-D'oh, and MDF (Compressed particle board, but much nicer quality than OSB, usually used for cabinets and desks) became Mm-Def. It was hilarious when he went on the radio asking if an available forklift could restock the 3/4 jizz plywood. Our boss actually got onto the radio and asked him what he called it and why he was being such an idiot. They never let me teach again
