Joshua found this online So I thought I would share:)
"A Gaffer in the motion picture industry is the head of the electrical department, responsible for the execution (and sometimes the design) of the lighting plan for a production. Gaffer, outside of the motion picture industry, is a traditional British English word for an older man or boss. It is essentially a variant of grandfather, used as a term of respect for a village elder, and applied to those in charge of workers since the 19th century. Gaffer within the motion picture industry originally related to the moving of overhead equipment to control lightning levels using a gaff. It has been used for the chief electrician in films since 1936. His assistant is the 'best boy'."
And in our family we have our own Gaffer who Maeby simply adores:)
We love you Gaffer.
*but would that make mom the "best boy"....Sorry mom:) you gots jipped:)
**Looked up Gammer too, it's about the same as Gaffer. Where Gaffer means old man Gammer means old woman;) LOVE YOU MOMMY
