Euphemistically Speaking

Kevy Baby · 09-25-2008, 10:03 AM

Making up a fancier sounding title for "Telemarketer" in another thread (although it wasn't good enough to copy here) got me to thinking about alternative titles to otherwise mundane jobs.

When I worked at a service station in college, we called ourselves Petroleum Transfer Engineers.

How about you? Got any good ones, either ones you've heard/used or just soemthing you've made up?

When I worked at the Long Beach airport, fueling planes, I had a similar title, Petroleum Transfer Technician.

I am a Data Archeologist.

I've actually seen a Dilbert phrase used in job ads:
Director of First Impressions (receptionist)

I am gay - aka the Receiver of Swollen Goods.

The PIA-SC (Printing Industries of America - Southern California) actually has an annual "First Impressions" competition which is to find out which printer has the best receptionist.
