Oh yea, and the term “pizza cutters” for skinnies up front...
Where did that come from?
The thought was that they were super thin, like a pizza cutter.

How do you feel about fixed magazine guns being loaded with a clip?
Thats a tricky one, like the fixed mag AR. I'd call that a clip loaded into a fixed mag ;)

Of course, rim also refers to a job ................... 🙄

Thank you ............ Thank you :bow:
The tire shop I worked at when I was 18 literally had a "rim job" as an option. I'm sure plenty were disappointed to find out that all it involved was us cleaning off any corrosion and rust off of the rim so the bead seated properly.

Hey no problem. I retired late May and am on a 4 month trip in the motorhome. It was raining like hell and I was stuck inside so there you have it. A boredom killer post.

All I know is when I see a vehicle driving down the road with a flat tire or a missing tire from ??
Everyone says, riding on the rim, not riding on the wheel.
Guess this joins the motor/engine b/s and the it's a tumma, it's not a tummmma.
