I had them but two piercings made my lips look cluttered so I just have the one.

The jewelry(hoops) I had was so twisted up by the at home piercing job that we couldn't get them out. When I had my oldest son, there was a hospital policy against having piercings in during delivery, saying you could choke on the pieces should they fall out. Well, mine didn't come out. The hospital, against logic, called the maintenance man in with his tool belt, and he used the metal cutters to cut my piercings out while I was in labor.

Dip****s.

What is it?

What is it?

Dad called it a crowbar, but it's a heavy bar with a pointed end basically. Really useful for digging a hole by hand. In pioneer days the farmers would have used them in conjunction with shovels to dig graves. One colloquial name is the Oh no! bar, as it can do some damage. So it's like a hand man powered slow jackhammer. Similar purpose.

Ah, I didn't recognize it!

When I was very young, I found one in Grandpa's garage and for some reason fell in love with it. We went to an auction, and I was hoping to find my very own, but no luck. Grandpa told me I could play with it when I came back to visit.

I bought the one I have now at Lowe's. It's owned by the temple, and my fellow volunteer landscaper and I use it a lot. Good in clay too. Some have a round flat opposite end used for tamping. As a little kid, it was hard to lift, but we played with it some too.

Even piercings have names. Like spider bites, angel bites, Medusa, industrial, Prince Albert (male piercing) or Cristina (female piercing).

You're lucky that the style you like
wasn't given a different random
name....like "Trump".

Dad called it a crowbar...

Of course, that's wrong.
They're not proportioned for prying.
Names...
"Spud bar"
"Digging & tamping bar"

Yeah, he was always wrong, poor guy.

If it were called a Trump then I'd just tell people to bugger of as I had it before his dumpster fire of presidency.

True, but the pen that recorded The Wealth of Nations was mightier than a whole stash of AK47s.

Yes, yes. Just not in a 'no holds barred' wrestling match for the WWE title.
Context matters...lol
