‘Gaffer’ not only means ‘old man’, but a gaffer is also the head electrician in a film production unit, charged principally with taking care of the lighting. Gaffer’s tape is a less sticky form of duct tape, used universally in the theatre, concert and movie worlds to keep people from stumbling over cables.

If you enjoy annoying people, go over to the Kate Bush newsgroup rec.music.gaffa, and ask there if her song ‘Suspended in Gaffa’ refers to Gaffer’s tape or not.
