R.
What an interesting site - there are many slang phrases which broadly refer to us, or the things we do, for example:

"old fart
Noun. An elderly, old fashioned and tedious person. Derog. See 'fart'."

Or:

"once-over
Noun. An inspection, a quick look over something or someone. E.g. "I was giving it the once over when the phone rang.""

There were many carriers at Corowa getting the once-over.

Oh, and by the way, terrific posters, Stellan.
