    I 'spose we'll hafta ask each one "what type of fitting would you like to be identified as?"


    Bloody good 'breaking news' tho! Can I borrow that? The painter bloke who sent me back a 'can of striped paint for a barbers' pole' cos it didn't work, only I told him it was his fault cos he put the paint onto the pole with the wrong side out will really appreciate that 'breaking news'!! I'd tell you why he'd appreciate it so much, but explaining WHY his work truck of 'oriental manufacture' is 'gender neutral' would probably get me banned here.....

    Peter may have identified the issue.
    It will depend on how the fitting identifies on a given day. And this could likely change with the age of the fitting and the relationship to other fittings (peer pressure).
    Yesterday's "innie" may be today's "outie".
    The result will be parts purchases on a day by day basis as you won't know what to keep on hand.

    Not really. That's what I call mine still. Just can't call fittings male and female. I guessI'm not that politically correct so it stays the same as always. I really don't care what these idiots say that things should be called. Go get a life and let the rest of us have one

    All this "Gender Neutral" talk, is the P.C. crap that makes me laugh and if you haven't noticed, I'm not a "touchy-feely" kind of guy, sorry. I remember back in the early days of my A.F. career, and while crewing cargo/tanker a/c in the late 80's, we had to use the term "flight station" instead of "cock-pit". One just has to wonder.Mac

    Don't know about So. Park, but in England it was a term for a "smoke/cig.". Mac
