      I was thinking it was the one you bang out when you know you’re going to die soon.

          She’s already residing in his kingdom… you might want a wet-nap or something else to clean up.

    I worked with a guy who was a pilot in Vietnam and he said torquing that thing down was the favorite part of the job. Apparently flying out there sucked, he was telling me the other guys would string zipline-like wire from tree to tree in clearings to catch tail rotors, all manner of shit, so if you weren’t flying it was pretty nice

    In Finnish there’s a similar term, kuningaspultti or king bolt. Used for things like bolt retaining timing gear on a crank shaft of an engine.

    How about other languages?
