what are we called?

[40to1]

What do we call ourselves?

If what we do is called "sugaring" or "sugarin'", are we
"sugarers"?
"sugarerists"?

My wife thinks what I do is called "syruping" (sigh....). I don't think we are "syrupists".

Any thoughts?

You can take this opportunity to coin a new name, give it a try. If we like it, the name might stick!

[PerryW]

we are sugarmakers

[Ausable]

LOL -- Yep - Sugarmaker is good -- I do not want to be called a Mapleteer or Saphead or something worse ..... Sugarmaker is good......

I'm refered to as "Sweet Pants" by mine because of the amount of sugar splatter on my pants. :D How about Sugar density engineers?

[umpwood1]

My Grandson calls us "Sap-Tappers" :):)

I was on a single burner. Some days for 16 hrs.

I was just called crazy. :emb:

[Ewetopia]

How about Sap-aholics.........

I prefer "sugarmakers". It rolls off the tongue nice and easy, just like "sugaring". Who wants to call it syruping, or sapping, mapling? Those are just much too difficult to get out.

I've also taken to referring to sap as "water". Its easier to say "check the water level in the back pan", than "check the sap level..." Maybe I've put too much thought into this-- too many long nights boiling water.

I like this one except maybe make it Syrup Density Engineers.

Syrup Density Engineers- would be abbreviated SDE...sounds too close to STD, the type of diseses you get if you visit the women of Sherbrooke too many times...

I do admit that most maple syrup words sound better in French. I just need a French girl friend to teach me how to properly pronounce them.

[CBOYER]

Remember, everything in Québec is more complex, we are "distinct", and this apply also on girls..:rolleyes:

[BryanEx]

and this apply also on girls..:rolleyes:
Complex... or distinct? :D

[Haynes Forest Products]

I keep hearing the word MORON whispered under friends and family breath when I'm running the rig so I just assumed:emb:

[Sugarmaker]

I guess with the gray hair, several burnt syrup pans, many gallons of syrup made and many late nights watching sap boil, I might be headed for the sugar master category but will remain as most of the previous posts prefer, just a SUGARMAKER.
