Explanation:

• Slang: Slang consists of informal words or phrases, often used within a particular group (like technicians here) and not part of standard formal language. Terms like "blue - boy" and "eighty - six" can be slang as they are informal and specific to a group.
• Jargon: Jargon is the specialized vocabulary of a particular profession, trade, or group. Technicians may have their own jargon for equipment, procedures, etc., so these terms can also be jargon.
• Standard English: Standard English is the formal, widely accepted form of the language. These unfamiliar, group - specific terms are not part of standard English.

Answer:

• slang
• jargon
