Not really a word but the name Swarfega. It's a hand soap used by mechanical engineers to clean oil off their hands.

I liked it so much it's been my online alias for years.

YES!! My grandad (plumber) had a big tub of the green jelly stuff that I loved using! Whenever I finished helping him in the workshop I'd go and put a tiny bit on my hands and WOOSH - clean hands! Happy memories. :)
