coppertunist

Someone who is always on the lookout for chances to salvage discarded/unwanted copper to sell for scrap.

I don't mind coppertunists who just tootle door-to-door and respectfully ask people if they have any unwanted metal kicking around, or merely gather up already-discarded pieces that are simply strewn on the ground or lying beside the road... what really burns me up is the selfish.mean guys who actually steal other people's stockpiles of pipe/wire, or --- even worse --- rip the piping out from the walls of summer homes, hunting lodges, lakeside/fishing camps, etc., so that the cottages' unfortunate owners have to either replace it or go with plastic piping instead. Makes me also wonder if any of those same sneaky dudes have investments in the PEX industry!

wrist-twist compromise

Refers to where you and another male friend are "group-spooning" with a nice gal on the beach or in bed, and she has her "lower" arm/hand (i.e., the one from the shoulder that she's lying on) extended out in front of her and the dude whom she's spooning is contentedly clasping this hand. So of course you therefore wish to hold her "upper" hand, but the prob is that this would ordinarily oblige one of you to rotate your wrist an entire half-turn to position your hand palm-upwards, which would likely cause a somewhat-painful wrenching of your wrist. So instead, you both twist your wrists just a quarter of a turn so that your palms are facing each other, and then interlace your fingers.

My buddy and I were having a nice long group-spoon with Tiffany as a reward for our assisting her around the house for a few hours, and I ended up spooning her from behind. Well, naturally, I wanted to hold her hand, but it would have been too painful for either of us to turn our hand upwards --- especially after the strenuous housework-exertion that we had all just been through --- so we performed a wrist-twist compromise and thus were able to happily clasp hands all the same.
