Rusty Bunch Terminology and Acronyms
Well, I don't think I've ever seen this thread started on this board so here goes.
How many official (or Non-Official) Rusty Bunch Terms or Acronyms can you think of? These would be terms or acronyms you have heard more than once and understand the meaning of. They also must apply to Dumping or searching for cans, not necessarily cans themselves.
I'll start with a few:
BBC-Before Beer Cans (That period in history prior to January 24th 1934)
RBer-Rusty Bunch Member
Mother Load- a dump of good condition, rare 30's cans
Keeper-any can you don't have on the shelf....in any condition
Feltched-when you pick up a can in a dump and pour 40-50 year old water all over yourself.
Green Meanie-a Forest Ranger
Virgin-as relates to a dump that has not been dug.
Raped-as relates to a dump that has been completely dug out.
Golden Horseshoe-used in conversation to designate an RBer that has had good luck over a period of time. This term is usually used in conjunction with the item being stuck in the RBer's posterior.
Dead Dump-no condition, no brands, no age...not worth digging.
Acid - refers to Citric or Oxalic, used to clean rusty cans.
Bentlyizing - An east coast (VA) term. It means that you are seeing cans in the woods that aren't there.
Natty Boh-refers to a National Bohemian can.
Black Betty - slang for a black Miller Beer can.
Mystery Can - a can that is so rusted you cannot identify it even after a spit shine.
Spit Shine - what you do to a can to try and identify it. i.e. Spit on it, and rub gently in an are that you think might have paint on it.
Four O'clock Follies: Finding a great dump after 4 PM in the fall, and trying to dig it all out before it gets to dark to see.
CanGod - The supreme dumper, the knower of all dump locations, the one we plead with while meditating/praying so we can find a good dump. Also the entity we swear at when we have had a bad day.
Ok, that's all I can think of right now. I know there are a lot of regional terms. What can you add to the list?

Well here are some more terms I've heard can diggers use over the years.
can-scratcher = the four pronger used by many dumpers to dig through dumps. A term I first heard from Curt Richardson
oxalic monster = a mystery can that cleans up but looks horrible, but you can now ID it. A term used by Marc Tracy.
can wagaon = a truck or car used to go dump digging in. Source is many different guys over the years.
holy-grail = the rare label that may be found in your area. Source, is many different guys over the years.
squeeze text = A test where a can is slightly squeezed to see if enough of it is left to hold up. If the can crumbles into flakes it failed the squeeze test. Source unknown. Just used it and heard it through the years.
Grocery store brands = a term used to describe cans that are from chain stores. "The dump was full of grocery store brands." means stuff like Keg, Steinbrau, Tudor, Golden Crown etc. A term first used by my buddies in California in the 70s.
Well, I'm sure I can remember more. But not right now.

I like "millerous africanus" never heard that term but it will stick with me now!
Others:
Implement of Destruction = Tool: 4-pronger, shovel or hoe used to dig a dump.
4-pronger = a potato rake with 4 large prongs. this is an east coast Implement of Destruction.
Treasure/goodies/finds = what we dig out of a dump and take home
Dumping Buddy(s) = the guy(s) that you take with you to help you find, dig, and bag the treasure. Treasure must be split equal ways with all dumping buddies present at the dump.
Ate up = what car batteries in dumps do to cans. (Also known as Toast, Toasted, Roasty Toasty). Cans with poor preservation can also be "ate up"

Down for the count - your gold bug dies!
Fools gold - any detector that's not a gold bug!
Pit Boss - the guy supervising the dig!
Pit Boy or Digger Boy - the guy doing the digging!
Lookin' for Rosie - The false feeling you get when you think every dump contains a Rosalie!
Ridin' the Tiger - same as above just insert the Tiger OI
huggin' a tree or grabbin' pine - what you do when there are no facilities around!
SOL - Sh*t out Of Luck!
FUBAR - I think we all know what this means. The worst can condition. I have a few of these on the shelf!
Rust Dust - what is left in a dump that is to far gone!
Later,

I have to take credit for "Millerus Africanus". That one started back when Andy and I were still digging in the Ozarks.
Here's a couple more:
A "big-ugly" is a large dump full of appliances, etc. that is generally not very old and is lacking in beer cans.
"Wa-Wa-Wanah....." is a chorus that is sung to the tune of the Sanford & Son music when you encounter a run down trashy old house or trailer with lots of garbage, appliances, derelict cars, etc. littered around. Andy and I usually break into this chorus simultaneously with out prompting.

a couple more:
Saying hello to a tree: peeing in the woods.
“Pit Dump” and “Surface Dump” are self-explainatory but then there is “scatter dump:” Using a metal detector to find individual cans along a roadside or fence where they had been tossed years ago.

Divvy - a can trade session, often impromptu, using whatever resources are available like the tailgate of a car in a parking lot late at night.
Skunked - An insufferably miserable day as far as the can count, typically suggesting very few cans found, none at all or only national brands, tabs and miscellaneous roadside trash.
Burning Daylight - 1. The realization that the remaining area is not producing, isn't likely to produce, the clock is ticking, and the fruits of your labor will only go sour if you don't move to greener pastures soon while you still have ambient daylight. 2. The act of wasting such time. 3. A phrase spoken in a loud, audible tone to marshal the troops to move on and not waste such time, typically uttered numerous times by the dump master. As dusk looms, the phrase is repeated more frequently until the dumpers are galvanized to act.

Here's another one we use that I forgot.
"Flailing" is when time and effort are wasted driving around aimlessly without a solid plan. This mode is usually brought about by the frustration of not finding anything. When you realize you're flailing, it's time to slow down, re-focus, and get back on track.

I should have waited to make a single posting. I keep thinking of more.
The "carpet" is the surface layer of roots, leaves, moss, mulch, and organic matter that you have to pull up to get at the cans underneath. It's often really like pulling back a layer of carpeting. (Not found in the arid west!)
A "socket" as in "pulling cans out of their sockets" is the semi-cylindrical impression in the dirt that has tightly enveloped the can over the years. When the can is finally extracted, it leaves the open "socket" exposed.

Can Treat - Another name for 'can in a can' find.
Indicator Can - Findind a Black Acme with Red 'B' indicates you are pre-WWII. Also works for finding aluminum Coors Light cans - time to move to a new hole.
Rusty Butt - The result of dirt falling on you while you are digging out a large pit.
Artifact - A PRE-BEER CAN man made object.
Death March - The point two miles (or two hours - which ever comes first) past the time when the expedition lead said 'the camp is just around the corner'.

"Ribbed"-flats with pressure bead lid(s).
"Non ribbed"-Early flats with no pressure bead lid(s).
Used to tell your dumping partner the age of the cans you're digging.

"Yeah Buddy": coined by Dale Bramlette - when you buddy just unearths a killer can and shows you - also means "find one for me!"
"Digger Boy": definition 2: the guy who gets you a beer while you are pulling out '30's can out of the pit. Also takes the newly found cans back to the truck.

A couple more we've used:
"F@#$in' A!"-When you unearth a killer can.
"F@#$in' A&B!"-when the pit yields a second killer can.
And...sacrificial lamb. The first can you hit opening a pit. Usually gets cut almost in half by your shovel. Hopefully followed by statements above.

You forgot "hunker down"........the opposite of "flailing". Concentrating your search to one specific area or target and ressisting the urge to run off to another area.
How about "onesy-twosy"........ a small find of only a few scattered cans in one area without anything depth or concentrataion.

And of course,
"Special Divvy Request" ...... an attempt by a team member to influence the natural course of the divvy usually as the result of a significant find and justified by the use of can association techniques such as ........... "I was thinking we would find one of these".
