The Jargon of the Rubber Industry

The jargon in the rubber industry, as in any specific group or industry, consists chiefly of common words or phrases to which special and not common meanings are ascribed. To individuals within the group or industry, jargon is colorful and expressive, often connoting ideas or effects difficult to describe in more precise language. Jargon has been used too long to be abandoned. It is too expressive to be frowned on and often is so concise that it is a great aid to readability or hearability. When used with understanding, its use may be encouraged.
