For some reason (don't ask) I have recently been watching episodes of The Block New Zealand and I like the way they refer to their handymen and electricians as "tradies" and "sparkies". Their pronunciation adds a lot. Especially when contestants announce they've arranged for the tradies to enlarge their deck.
If "sparkies" are electricians I may have concerns.
