hoggerpipe
From Webster 1913. "The upper terminal pipe of a mining pump." I cannot find this in Google Books outside of a single 1882 text by Henry Norris Copp, where it is defined rather than used. Equinox ◑ 22:35, 28 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Found a seeming use in the wild for a two word version:
 * 1969, P. S. A. Berridge, Couplings to the Khyber: the story of the North Western Railway, p. 295:
 * In the chill of the night, a rat had sought the comparative warmth of the hogger pipe on the leading coach which, contrary to standing orders, some wayward shunter had not placed on the dummy.
 * This might be SOP for an as yet unadded defition of hogger. bd2412 T 17:54, 30 August 2011 (UTC)
