Does anyone think the word "PocketWizard" sounds dirty?

Example, to assistant at a shoot: "Can you turn on my PocketWizard?"

Got a strange look from the client. ;)

No, but maybe you need to work out a code word for it with the assistant. Something like "Can you turn on my ceraunograph for me?" Clients love the techno babble, it's clearly separate you from them and be a solid indication they hired the right person for the job. Take it a step further and rename all your gear. If you're clever, you should be able double or even triple your rates.

Well it was the assistant that came up with the idea it sounded dirty -- the more I thought about, the more I guess it made sense. But yeah, it's a stretch. Just curious what others thought!
