Quick question from my film class about grip slang...

Has anyone ever heard of extension cords being referred to as "stingers"? Our former production manager insisted on using that term, but we can't find it anywhere.
Also, there is supposedly a number used in place of the word "clothespin" to describe such. 55X? Ever heard of this one?

Enquiring minds want to know.

Thanks!

Yeah stinger for a consumer (orange, low-capacity) extension cord is common. Also, C47 and C74 is used to describe common, sprung clothespins in normal or reversed configuration respectively.

Hey Timmy, would you like to see my condor and mafer collection? If you do, I might just make you my best boy.

Do a search.

Terry and I are the two grumpy old f-ers that never seem to leave the back of the truck - but we know where everything is and you have to get past us to get at it.

C-41 is the type of processing chemicals they use for deveoping 35mm film. You see it everytime you buy a roll of film for your camera. "Process C-41 ONLY". Slide film reads "Process E-6 ONLY".
