Occupational Slang

The occupational-slang tag focuses on slang used in specific workplaces or professions, including kitchens, aviation, healthcare, construction, retail, and more.

These expressions often come from quick communication on the job. Examples include 86 it in kitchens, roger in aviation, stat in hospitals, line check in restaurants, and PTFO in fitness spaces.

If people in a particular job use a word that outsiders may not understand, this tag helps break it down.
