I'm a lecturerin construction related things.
I love to place special emphasis on certain words when I'm talking about the *erection* of temporary works and the like. Piling gets emphasis placed on *shaft.* There's a fair amount of *wood* going on too.
It's great to see a few students click to what's going on.
No one has yet called me out on it, apart from one year when I mentioned that contractors often try to get extra money by *slipping it in* when preparing a valuation. I got a very stern "you should know better" look from one of my students on that occasion. I felt very small.
It hasn't stopped me though!

I did civils at uniand we had some basic accounting lectures from this old but awesome guy.
He kept mentioning "double entry" and pausing to allow people to snigger.
Not many of our lecturers mentioned erections and shafts very often though...
