I worked with a crane operator who had been a union man before Bethlehem Steel's Lackawanna, NY operations shut down (1857-2003). He was always telling us to slow down so as not to make the other workers look bad. Some of his favorite phrases were:
"Take 'er easy there, yr on the clock," "Have a tea, cap'n," and "Go f**k the dog."
