Quote HistoryQuoted:
It certainly meant crack using individuals but was misinterpreted to mean individuals who would use pieces of plumbing or fencing as cudgels and "pipehitter" became a term for what some might call a "bad hombre". This isn't much different from how this place has mangled some meanings,such as neckbeard. |

It is a term used in blue collar trade, mostly in the North, to describe someone who you can give any task to and he will get after it 110% with no complaints or words spoken. I think it has mostly been adopted by others at this point. |

If SOF guys are really calling themselves that now, they can let it mean whatever they want it to mean but all of the claims about it really being a traditional term to refer to badasses are bullshit. |

Does Marcellus Wallace seem like he runs an operation that would use crackheads?
Don’t get me wrong, a base head (don’t confuse with a bass head) could be said to hit the pipe pretty hard. But that’s not what was being referenced in Pulp Fiction. He was referring to guys that break kneecaps for a living. Accounts receivable that carry lead pipes. Same as mafia “protection” scheme enforcers. Think Errol and others from Snatch (:30 to 1:10 or so):  Punish him for me, Errol You may notice they have sections of pipe in their hands. ETA: why mil guys would want to adopt the nickname for themselves...I can’t speak to that. Kinda implies they think their employers are running a criminal organization. Maybe that’s how they view it. Maybe they just think it sounds badass and co-opted it. |

Pipehitter: a person tasked with welding a pipe, who screwed up the weld and got a bit angry. Usually winds up at the emergency room with a broken hand and a workman's compensation claim.

I always assumed that it was an individual who eagerly hit another (bound) individual with a piece of (lead) pipe in order to inflict pain on that said individual.

The term pipehitter is a term derived from crackheads that will do anything for their next fix. Key word is “anything” gay stuff, murder, robbery.....
So the “badass” term pipehitter means guys that will do anything. There are no boundries. |

If I were in the service and a "badass"..and someone said the term pipehitter...I dont know why but to me it almost immediately meant..
one who hits the pipe=crackhead... I'd think most "pipehitters" in the service even have that thought in the back of their mind.. Like..WTF we running around calling ourselves crackheads??? Lol I don't see how they can not.. If Judy is hitting the pipe..Judy is doin some drugs .. I'd suggested something else like...skullcrusher..neck-snapper..hell I dunno.. I'm not a badass or claimed to be..some of the shirts are cool...some scream alpha male and aren't my shitty cup of tea. It supports veterans and that ain't bad. |

I noticed how in my lifetime 'lucked out' went from meaning 'ran out of luck/bad thing happened' to having something good happen due to good luck. Ones 'old man/lady' was the husband/wife' then became father/mother. In both cases a different group of people because using the phrase and changed it to their situation or just didn't know what it had meant previously. Meanings can also change rapidly as the term or phrase spreads across the country and even mean very different things at the same time when used in different locations of the country. An excellent different example of that was the small piercing in one ear of a man a few decades ago. The 'message' communicated was very different depending upon which ear and which city or which part of a city the man was in. Such phrases and symbols change meanings quickly as different portions of society adapt them as they seem 'cool'.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Actually, yes. Through the years a lot of gangs have hired "hitmen" to do their dirty work. Plausible deniability. Ever heard of the term "Guns for hire"?  New Jack City (1991) - This Crack's Got Me Scene (3/10) | Movieclips Yes, crackheads will do a lot of stuff to get a fix. Like suck off strangers or rob their own family. These aren’t the people you use to tune someone up. Marcellus Wallace is being intimidating. He’s putting the fear of death into Zed. You think he’s gonna say “I’m gonna call some crackheads to work this guy over” or “I’m gonna call some heavy hitters to work this guy over”? I’ve seen others claim that the pliers and blowtorch are for picking out the birdshot and cauterizing wounds. Same as this crackhead pipe hitter theory. There is a logic to the idea, but it’s still wrong. The pliers are for pulling teeth and fingernails and the torch is just causing pain. And pipe hitters are muscle, not drug addicts. |
