it doesn't matter what the comment was, or the context is, I often use the meaningless response ... That Explains A Lot - people have no idea what to think, they get confused, and I walk away and chuckle
I make random comments like Never Doubt Me, or That's Part Of Your Charm
People ask How are you doing ? I say I'm Being Good (not even an answer)
I often ask people Are You Behaving ? ... especially good for when I was doing Community Corrections supervision
I used to start supervision conversations with criminals, by simply stating What is all this stuff that I've heard about you? (this, when I actually know nothing) ... they generally opened up and told me about a recent arrest, fight, party etc

Has Sawzall vs reciprocating saw been mentioned? Sawzall is a Milwaukee tool, DeWalt , Ryobi and all the rest make reciprocating saws.

Cartridge vs caliber. See this all the time on gun and reloading forums. For instance, people say 44-Magnum caliber. That's the cartridge. It is 0.429", not even 44 caliber.
Imo I think it's kind of a regional name, always heard any reciprocating saw called a sawzall a few times a demo saw, out west they relate all skill saws, ie a circular saw to a worm drive circular saw, any brand circular saw to me is a skill saw, any brand reciprocating saw to me is a sawzall. Depending on region telehandlers are known as skytraks, lulls, Pettibones, even heard them being called zoom booms. Doesn't matter who made it. Funny
story first time I heard "zoom boom" I thought they said zoom broom and went looking for a leaf blower lol.Interesting, what's the correct name or close to it then? since we're kind of on the subject what's the difference between a bullet and a round? are they interchangeable terms?
