I think the term "Cow soccer" was used at my local UPS hub. People i know who worked there would punt gateway boxes.

"Fragile`... it's Italian for 'kick me'..." was what my Team Coordinator told me on my first day loading trucks for RPS (later bought out by FedEx)... The guy loading trucks with me used to reguarly toss very heavy 'incompatibles' on top of other boxes and walls... Things like boxes of nails, tombstones, semi truck tires... "if you smash these down a bit, you can fit more in."

Early in my career, in the computer industry, I filled in for the regular shipping guy over the Christmas holidays. That's when the Metro Express guy told me that "fragile" is translated as "throw underhand", by most drivers.

Nope, he's been 'reassigned.'
