Why is a shop called a shop?

[pontiac428]

When I was with the phone company, we worked from a garage, which was a parking lot with a couple sheds.

At home, I call my basement shop the hole, my wife just rolls her eyes.

A parking lot with a couple sheds we call a yard. The basement hole is also called the gimp locker. And Zed's dead, baby.

My daughter stuck this on my shed door.
Its probably apt.
