Know your hickeys
Alright lighting and prop folks, who knows what a hickey is?
From a recent load-in:
M.E.: (while looking at hanging practical fixture that needed a wiring connection before going into a threaded rod) “Hmm… Might need a hickey. Check in the box up on that shelf.”
Electrician 1 looks in box.
Electrician 2: “What’s a hickey?”
M.E.: (turns, pauses) “Weren’t you ever in high school?”
So, lighting and props folks: how many of you know what the electricians were actually looking for, and how many have no idea (other than the making-out version)? No cheating by Googling it. Tell us in the comments.
Answer to come tomorrow.

isnt a hickey the little L bracket shaped thing that secures lighting fixtures? particularly heavy ones i think. makes sense too cause practical lighting fixtures have tons of fun dirty names… stud… nipple..
