Thanks to my hardware store. New insult unlocked.
@paco sounds like some medieval sex toy
@paco damn this goes hard
@paco that time when you went to the Home Depot™️ and the sales person asked what you were looking for and you said but then they punch you in the face
@msh @paco it sounds like a bunch of drunken British men arguing before a fight (or "rammy" in Scotland), although its a useful part to prevent the flush valve of a toilet from leaking 😁 🚽
@vfrmedia @msh @paco I heard it in a Scottish accent, though probably the approved term there is "bawbag".
Hardware Store - A Bit of Fry and Laurie

@srtcd424 @msh @paco cracking stuff. Hugh Laurie handles being slapped very well.
@srtcd424 @msh @paco
The Two Ronnies had a similar sketch “Fork Handles”.
@paco isn't that the guy who played Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Strange?

@cjust Wasn't that some Benevolent Cummerbund?

@paco

@wonka @paco You might be thinking of Badminton Tennismatch
@paco shank my nutbag, ballcock.
@paco the name sounds more like what you might say when you hit your thumb with a hammer
@paco I'm stealing this for #BaroqueSun real fake Baroque composer names
@paco @knightlie Aye, that's me doing karaoke and forgetting the words to Nutbush City Limits.

@paco ::chef's fingertip kiss::

Sublime.

@paco Didn't know they sold Donald Trump at that store!
@paco noice! Even arguably works for jkr
@paco I wonder if there was supposed to be a comma after the "shank" as in clarifying the contents to an unstable customer?
@paco
This is amazing... I was literally just thinking about replacing the ballcock on one of my bathrooms, but I realized I need a new nut bag before I can do that
@paco Finally! Truthful ingredients! Respect!!
@paco Who upset *that* Glaswegian again?
@paco I can't find one that fits anymore. At my age, the nut bag is too low now and the ballcock shank is too small.
@paco
Ball cock nut bag? 😂😂😂😂
That's hilarious
@paco
Where's the content warning on that photo? /s
@paco It does have a Shakespearian air to it, though. "Thou Ballcock Shank Nut bag!" would go well!
@paco I've been called worse.
@paco that bag needs to come with a parental advisory sticker.

@paco wait till you hear about the

aka the Chicago Screw

@paco if anyone else is wondering if this is real or AI, it looks legit https://go-upc.com/search?q=037155406944
Danco 40694B Universal Ballcock Shank Nut, Brass — UPC 37155406944 — Go-UPC

@paco I resemble that remark!
@paco to me it feels like something you yell when you hit your thumb with a hammer.
@paco It's nice how the bag gives you the correct thing to say when you realize you've installed it cross-threaded and fucked up the threads on both parts

@paco

I think you have 24 insults if you consider all ways of arranging the words, more with gerunds - for example, "the President is a nut shanking ballcock bag."

@paco Filled with man milk?

@paco

Oooooooooh,
Who lives in a plastic bag down at the store?
BALLCOCK SHANK NUT!
Your toilet won't work if it falls on the floor!
BALLCOCK SHANK NUT!
If you're feeling handy, need something to screw...
BALLCOCK SHANK NUT!
then grabbing this bag is perfect for you!
BALLCOCK SHANK NUT!

@paco This is real? That is too good.
@paco
Definitely my insult name for the week, maybe longer
@paco that's a combo breaker right there
@paco that definitely needs to be said with a British accent
@paco I'll quick write down that part number.
@paco I'm afraid you can't return those. They're not in the original bag.
@paco No _you're_ a P/N: 9D0040694B

@paco
We once had a Bumper Bar Cover come in the the description “Cover Front Bum”.
The ditzy delivery driver came in and asked what it was because she couldn’t identify the part from the description. Much hilarity ensued.

Three days later we had an engine bay air guide come in with the description “Baffle Air Head”.

Also, the German word for O-Ring is “Dichtung”.

@paco I'll have to add that to my vocabulary.

@paco Reminder kids,

Howard "BallCock Shank NutBag" Lutnik

is a helpful mnemonic to remind you not to say NutLick

@paco seems like a goodie bag / treat for a seggsy Christmas 🎅🏽
@paco
Or "how to get sectioned in four words"
@paco a mate shouted that across the street at me only last week
@paco Sounds like the lineup for a punk show I’m not going to attend.
@paco Playing Brixton Academy this Saturday.
