"stand of 8” from the board tryin to latch up".
"Saw a derrickhand come down the Geronimo line"
"Geronimo line" and "8 inch." Oil field slang. Since I haven't worked in an oilfield, I don't know what you are talking about.
It’s a whole new language and makes it easy to mess with green hands.
Once sent a guy from the doghouse to the pusher to the company man to the mud engineer to MWD to the DD and back to the co man trying to get a box of toolfaces that the driller had ordered. Everybody was in on it and just kept sending him in circles. Got him again a couple days later with the key to the v door.
Didn’t have the heart to send him to talk to the mud logger. Makin somebody talk to a mud logger is a step too far.
