    Yeah, but you have to be able to say it to the Mrs with a straight face and without guffawing childishly.

    Leave her guessing whether it's Man Talk or 'just being rude again'.

    Then, throw in a few references to male and female connectors...

    Mauve

    Back in the day purple was reserved for the dying of imperial silks. It was the ultimate status symbol colour.

    "Wot we can't have purple ? bollocks to that." So Mr Perkins went off to make some stuff that was nearly black. Really deep purple if you like.

    What practical use is purple ? Well it's synthesis lead to the chemical industry as we know it today as well as providing the sulfa-drugs that were the only effective treatment of bacterial infections before penicillin.



    Oh and the colour faded over time. So what is called Mauve today is just a wishy washy remnant, like when the sequels get more family friendly like comparing the original Mad Max with the one with the kids. Or comparing Robocop with Robocop 3.

    Bearing.

    Can be used to describe why various mechanical and non mechanical devices have stopped working or don't sound right...when you really haven't a fcuking clue what's wrong with it.

    "Ah yes, it'll be the main bearing that's gone in it" or "it'll need new bearings" or "sounds like there may be a worn bearing" etc etc

    Can be applied to cars, bikes, lawn mowers, washing machines, tumble driers, sliding doors, power tools, vacuum cleaners, etc etc

    LOL, when you haven't a clue! The GF's car had a knocking sound at a certain rev range, so she asked me an office boy to take a look. Note the front grill was missing from the car at the time. So I popped the hood and had a look:

    GF: "Well what do you think?"
    Me: I dunno, I'm looking for a clod of turf or something because the grill is missing."

    First they came for the socialists...

    How tight do you want that yoke?

    One grunt, two grunts or three grunts and a fart?
