Hi Guys

New to this forum, please don't rip the **** out of me on this question.

What is the common slang for an Electrician is it Sparky or Sparks ?



Cheers

Both terms are very often used, I wouldn't say one is more popular than the other in my years on sites of all sizes

 

[gaffer]

spark or sparky for 1 electrician and sparks for 2 or more.

I would say that 'a sparks' is the noun & 'a sparky' is the adjective' form
The collective noun for a group of us is; a flash of sparkies
