| Airstream Technical words
AEROWOOD has been complaining that I use too many technical words in my posts. I sympathize and empathize with him, so I propose we keep a running Wiki-Stream of descriptive words for the hard-to-describe parts of our favorite machines... framus--important part whose function is not well understood thingy--part with an unknown function, one that you would not be proud to have fabricated; alt: any complicated part referred to by most (but not all) females doodad--usually left over after putting something back together, yet the something works just fine widget--fits into things, sometimes used to hold things or space things device--something that has an actual function, made up of several machined parts #$@&&^ --a doodad that is either heavy and has recently landed under full gravity on some extremity or has sharp edges and has been grasped in an area where you have no visibility jaggies--usually the edges of items in a low resolution digital image, but in this case, damaged edges on any aluminum part that will attract the attention of anyone viewing your restoration dohickey--a device whose function is clearly obvious to the casual observer but to explain it would take several minutes
Alternative definitions welcome.
