When a friend and I used to do a lot of work on our cars, we
would commonly say "Please pass the (bigger/smaller) metric",
meaning
the Crescent -- even though nothing on our cars was Metric. :-)

Enjoy,

I have a genuine left-handed adjustable wrench, "A Quality Product
from India". The adjusting nut has a left-hand thread.
