Yes. But I'd rather retain the English Language as it should be... No offence to those across the pond

I've just looked up "Zerk" on Wikipedia.
Named after the inventor Oscar U Zerk!! (Honestly)
Apparently the fitting allows a more angled approach to the grease nipple!
I know we shouldn't poke fun at people's names, but that's a cracker.

So....getting down to the nitty gritty technical details....we can call straight nipples "nipples" and upturned pert nipples "Zerks" ? Seems ok to me and will get around any of those dreadful connotations.

Grease fittings are rarely found on today's consumer goods, appliances, or cars, because maintenance-free products have more sales appeal to the general public. Morgan?

Right! That does it! I am definitely NOT going to post any pictures of the LLB  in her days as a Malboro Girl!   Bud __________ 2003 - 4/4 Simon. Perhaps the Budster might feel more inclined to post his much hinted at photos if there was a "Members Only" photo gallery. At least that would narrow the circle of viewers from the world in general to us few gentile and distinguished members.
