Terminology

The following e-mail was just sent to all the firehouses in Prince George's County, MD:

To: All Personnel
Prince George's County Division of Fire and Rescue

Re: Terminology

It has come to my attention that when a fire hose becomes worn and develops a fuzz on it, some personnel have been referring to this as "nappy-headed hose". This practice will cease immediately.
