Adjustable Wrench 

An adjustable wrench or crescent wrench is a type of wrench that is made to be adjustable to several different sizes, allowing the user to carry one wrench rather than several. Under certain circumstances, an adjustable wrench may be considered a suitable replacement for a hammer, at which point it is then known as an adjustable hammer.

Bobby, hand me that adjustable wrench. I need to loosen this drain plug.

Attitude adjuster 

The nightstick police and rent-a-cops carry with them, mainly to make them feel big and tough, but sometimes to use it on pickpockets or dope-smoking teenagers.

"Man, the Mickey Mouse patrol busted my ass with their attitude adjusters last night when they caught me with a joint."

seasonally adjusted 

(ECONOMICS) adjusted for the time of year the data refer to.

Economic statistics are often reported as rates of change from month to month, or quarter to quarter. However, some months, such as November and December, have very high retail sales, while May through September have very high home sales. For this reason, data is sometimes "seasonally adjusted" to offset ordinary seasonal variations.

The US Federal Reserve System reports changes in GDP from quarter to quarter in annualized form; so, for example, during the last quarter of 2004, US GDP was (about) $3,044.6 billion. But it was reported as an annualized (and seasonally adjusted) $11734.9. If you divide that by 4 you get 2957.8, which reflects the fact that the Fed shaved 86.8 billion off its estimate of economic activity for 2004Q4 and reallocated it to Q1 & Q2.

The reason the Fed (and everyone else) does this is to measure economic change separately from the usual seasonal change in business activity.

BILL: Hey! This data on GDP growth is way different from that data.

ANNA: That's because one set of data is seasonally adjusted. The Fed tweaked the numbers so economic growth from quarter to quarter reflects changing economic conditions, instead of ordinary yearly cycles.

BILL: You mean it's not an evil plot?

ANNA: It's an evil plot to make you forget about Christmas shopping season and labor day white sales.

BILL: Gasp! You mean the Fed is behind the War on Christmas?????

Adjustment 

If you're a hillbilly or a redneck and someone misunderstood you; you would say "I didn't mean 'that'. Adjustment 'this' or 'that'.

Iam "See they keep trying to make adjustments to the thing that isn't working. As though it's the variables that are wrong and not that their idea doesn't work. No amount of adjustment makes a turd a tenderloin"
