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."

The earlier version of the car had a carburettor but on the facelifted XYZ model the fuel injection system controller delivers a more linear power output. A common fault however is a failed resistor requiring the addition of an outboard module to rectify the line voltage. In order to achieve a serviceable repair you should tuck your beard into your overalls and spread the lower crossmember bushes using a hydraulic jack to facilitate access to the block connector, then remove the front mounting bolt on the using the allen key, a coarse pitch drill bit will release the rivet at the rear and a solder connection can be made to connect the outboard rectifier.

Easy as squeezing the pips from a grape, chief.
