Had a thought, any young mechanically included folks. If your are trying to start a bolt and are having trouble and your buddy says "gotta put hair around it" what does that mean? Is that saying still used today?

Old time sayings.

Never heard that on, I have no idea what it would mean.

Your buddy can explain it. It’s a little dirty. Still used today. Also:

Spit on it.

Hold you tongue right.

Maybe finger it first.

All time favorites.

All good ones. Being a teenager working on vehicles back in the 80's... Now a days I wonder if the younger crowed would understand since they are all bald like a 12 y/o.

If they were brought up in the garage they would get it. πŸ˜ƒ

Yep! The good old days right? When your 14 and the old man hands you a PBR... Are the good days really over?

I waited until they were 18. But yes, I recently shared a beer with my boys after a hard day of work. Also, after 14 years of coaching youth sports I can assure you that teenage boys still talk like they used too.

100%!!

The old β€œbachelors dilemma.” Also, for those of you that are into detailed mechanical work. When someone says β€œit’s a hair off” and you respond β€œred hair or blonde hair?” Do you know what I mean?

Or move it over... How far? Like a cunt hair....

To which I reply β€œScottish or Irish?”

So there is a difference?

No idea but it sparks a reaction. πŸ˜ƒ

Redheads have less hair per square inch but thicker hairs. Blondes have more hairs per square inch but thinner hairs. Red hairs are generally.025” in thickness. Blonde is around .0125” in thickness. β€œC**t” hairs are generally 1.25 to 1.5 times the thickness of head hair. Giving a relative measurement of +/- .050 inches respectively. Old man machinists math explained.

Yes! β€œA red cunt hair or a blonde cunt hair?”
