What do you call THAT?

What do you call THAT?
Years ago I met this guy and asked what he did.... He told me he worked at a company that made a product - and he told me what it was by using the " insiders" name for the product. I laughed and correctly deduced what it was - to his surprise.

List a service or item by the insider's name - and see if others can figure out what that is.

Mine - from above -

Ass Gasket

MFE (pronounced out as 'em-eff-ee').

Cop slang.  Uses such as, 'Is your MFE full?' or 'Did you requisition me an MFE?'

When I was managing a restaurant the cleaning supply guy referred to those as "risies". Pronounced 'Ry-zee". After the tendency to stick to your ass when you stand up. He would say "When you rise, it rises with you".

Acronym from the Nursing trade: "RPIA". I am sure this one carries over to many trades. I will reveal after a few guesses.

I thought it might have come from when a difficult patient passes away.
Rest in peace arsehole. :-)

And then I realises that it's not ripa.

I thought the same thing.

Nurses in the VA have a unofficial rating system. "4" is a total PITA, "3" just a pain, "2" needs attention, "1" is "just check to see they're still breathing once a day". A nurse only gets one "4" assigned when possible.

In case you're wondering I was "0". "Quiet as a mouse."

"Yeah, he was quiet, never bothered anyone. Hard to believe he shot everybody in the Mounds Mall in one long run. And while using a muzzle loading single shot rifle to boot. Them Hoosiers were too stupid to run, I guess."
