how do you hold your mallet?

I can’t help but feel a more important question would be “have you named your hammer?”

 

yes I have, it’s called Henry the hitty stick

I seemed to have started a discussion about different names for tools...oops! 

I call an  adjustable spanner an '   AFS '  , " any f****g size" , waaaaaay off topic.

You're all loonies, naming hammers and sewing machines . . . .

I call the foam heads I keep hats on Charlie and Louis,  and my armour stand Norman, cos he is one, and my car is called LOOPY (reg is LD05 UPY). I call my basic scratch awl 'the pokey hole thingy'.

An Ulsterism is to call something which you either do not know the name of or have temporarily forgotten 'that wee spud', eg  "Pass me that wee spud over there" (pointing) and anyone knows what you mean. Has nothing to do with potatoes

 

PS. This reminds me of;

Did you hear about the sewing machine which dreamt of going on and winning US/Australia/Canada/Britain's Got Talent? 

It was because it was a Singer!
