Re: MMTB terminology

Paul,

How can we add anything when we don't know what is already there?

Subject: [TramsDownUnder] MMTB terminology

A small group is preparing a list of MMTB terminology;
ie words, jargon and phrases that were peculiar to the
MMTB (deceased 30 June 1983).

There are more than 400 entries already.

Seeking thoughts the more obscure ones that might have
fallen through the net.

The most recent one was "By"! (sorry we are not
talking about the trans-gender platform staff):

A real life example from a Camberwell marmalade shift
1974/1975:

"Conductor/Driver Nicholson, 817, with your bag, shunt
a big car off 10 road, put her on bang, then take 69
run at the Junction."

Does this need translation?
