Anyone who calls it a "drill machine" should not be allowed to use power tools

[-] ImplyingImplications@lemmy.ca 40 points 2 years ago

What if I refer to myself as a drill machine?

[-] xantoxis@lemmy.world 44 points 2 years ago

That's allowed, but you better prove it

Idiot, the anus is just the opening of the alimentary canal

If it’s not on strava, it never happened!

[-] Klear@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago

This is not a drill! I repeat, this is not a drill!

[-] pimento64@sopuli.xyz 12 points 2 years ago

My wood shop teacher would insist it was "drill driver" and would bust your grade down if you only called it a drill.

[-] Flexaris@discuss.tchncs.de 9 points 2 years ago

Wouldn't it be a drill bit driver?

[-] JonEFive@midwest.social 2 points 2 years ago

Isn't the drill part of the bit?

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

The bit is the tip of the drill and the shank is the other end.

Can I borrow your car machine?

[-] President_Pyrus@feddit.dk 7 points 2 years ago

In denmark we call it a "boremaskine", literally "drilling machine"...

[-] M137@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

Same in Sweden; "borrmaskin"

Though it's still fine to say just "borr" (drill) for it, like "kan du sträcka mig borren?" (Can you hand me the drill?)

[-] President_Pyrus@feddit.dk 7 points 2 years ago

In Danish, "bor" only refers the drill bit. If you asked someone "kan du række mig boret" you would be handed the drill bit, or possibly be pointed towards the table (bord/bordet, with silent d).

[-] yetAnotherUser@feddit.de 4 points 2 years ago

Same in German: "Bohrmaschine".

Although the shorthand version is "Bohrer", not "Bohr".

About this community and how I post the comics… Many moons ago, I would ask my Dad to save the newspaper for me everyday so I could read my favorite comic strips. Of course these days you can read your favorite comics online instead of a newspaper, but I love the nostalgia of reading the daily comics. Anyway, one of my favorite current comics is Cyanide and Happiness and I will be posting the daily release from their website (https://explosm.net/) and a an extra or two randoms.
