Camping terms that have other meanings

Camping has its own terms, but some terms used by campers have more than one meaning.  One meaning for campers and another more common meaning for people in general.  Two examples are  "TV" and "Black Ice".  "TV" in the camping forums is a Tow Vehicle, not a television.  Most people think of "black ice" as ice that looks like the surface is just wet, not frozen.  From a recent camping trip I was on, the term "black ice"took on a new meaning when a friends 40 gallon black water tank froze creating a 40 gallon block of "black ice".  What other common terms have special meanings for campers?:)

How about pop up?  For others, it means 1) arriving without invitation or 2) those annoying ads on your screen.

How about "camping?"

For my in-laws, that means staying at a 3 star hotel (instead of a 4 or 5). :)

A perfectly innocent discussion on hitches can get away from you real fast. Tongue size, length, extension....rise, fall...........subjects best suited for discussion around a campfire or Camping World.

:D

Perfectly innocent???  If you say so.

He's not my quiet friend, Jan. He just pretends to be quiet.   ;)

I was gonna say Honey Wagon, but I see Lori beat me to it!

I really don't like it when the honey wagon spreads its contents on the farm fields.:yikes:
