What do people mean by an engineer's hammer? I just bought a really
cute hammer yesterday (yes, I used the C word. I have no use for the
hammer but I like the look of it on my desk). Its got a really curvy
wooden handle and a small head, large and flat on one side, small ball
on the other. Shiny steel.

sounds like a planishing hammer....
