How many of you machine-heads have actually seen a real steam roller?
I doubt the press has. Anyone who is not gay actually refer to your
dog as a "pooch"? (that could be an east-west thing though)
Who assigns the word "turbo" to something that does not incorporate
an acual turbine?
I really get a kick out of it when i ask someone if an item is made
of brass or aluminum respond "no, its metal".

Stupid is as stupid does.

I think I saw a "steam shovel" once when I was about 6 yrs old.
That was 69 yrs ago. As to the "pooch", yes we (lots/most)
people called smalish dogs pooch, if there wasent an obvious
better name available, back in PA when I was growing up.
As to "turbo" that has become the latest greatest thingo.


How about "Battery or electric"?

Cordless as in 'cordless screwdriver'.
What's next, 'cordless pencil'?


I once used a "Slit-n-Wrap" tool which comprised a hand slit-n-
wrap tool clamped in a cordless eraser. ;-)
