  1. #8) Nippers? If this offends anyone they need serious psychiatric help. If you're in the hardware store and see some with black handles, yell, "hey, look at those black nippers."

    2. Now that you mention it, I do recall them being called dikes. I think I even called them that back when I worked in the bowling center (AMF 82-30 machines).

    3. My husband always called them that. It was easier for me to remember "cutters".

  2. Um, usually I get most of the jokes I see, but the side cutter renaming need is really escaping me....

    And now that I've read all the comments, I understand the #8 meme. And after a quick look, it seems they have already been renamed as "cutting pliers".
    Thanks, Odie.
    You all be safe and God bless.
