Short snappy name for the technical section?
How about the ‘PRIVY’
The Oxford Dictionary defines ‘privy’ as;
adjective
1 (privy to) sharing in the knowledge of (something secret or private): he was no longer privy to her innermost thoughts
2 archaic hidden; secret: a privy place
noun (plural privies)
1 a small shed located outside a house or other building.
Origin:
Middle English (originally in the sense ‘belonging to one’s own private circle’): from Old French prive ‘private’ (also used as a noun meaning ‘private place’ and ‘familiar friend’),
I attended Alloa Technical and Commercial School. There we did Techy drawing which of course was Technical drawing. But that all it was ever called “Techy”. So we had a techy drawing teacher, a techy drawing class. Technical was always called Techy in Alloa. So if its good enough for Alloa…………………
I should have said my suggestion is pronunced “tecky”!
Thanks for the suggestions. RC Piers and Moorings is going with Techy as although “privy” has various meanings, he feels that most folk will think its referring to a “shed”!
