Is IT a ZerT Or a ZerK?

One of the definitions of "zert" in the above dictionary:
zert
persian or farsi word for fart
"zert with the wind"
"fart with the wind"


How crude. :(

The appropriate term in polite society is "backdoor breeze."

I only ever heard them called 'grease nipples/fittings'. Zerk is a new one on me, heard first on TBN.

Yeah, I know. Same here. Seeing as the majority of TBN members are from the USA, it's somewhat of a colloquialism. (Pssst... don't get them started on what a biscuit is, they think it's a "cookie"; not a scone. :laughing:)

My Brit D-I-L calls a biscuit a scone.

Zerk. People who call them zerts or even certs are just ignorant. Note ignorant means "lacking knowledge, information, or awareness about something in particular." I didn't say they were dumb or stupid they just don't know any better.

Always just been "grease fitting" to me. I learned "zerk" on here, too.
