When your boomer parents still think that you can apply for jobs by physically going to a business and asking if there are any jobs available, just like they did back in the day, before the popularity of the internet or pre-2000.
Dad: why don't you get off your arse and get a job.
Son: I've been looking online for weeks and applied for everything I can, there's nothing new.
Dad: Your not looking hard enough, go out and knock on some doors. That's what I did when I was your age.
Son: Dad, nobody does that anymore, employers and job agencies do everything online now. Even the job centre posts their own stuff there.
Dad: omg kids these days, don't know how good they have it. When I was your age I walked 20 miles to work and back barefoot whilst carrying a bag of cole on my back, I got paid 2 bob a week, blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
Son: stfu dad, stop lying and get with the times.

Henry Winkler ... Arthur 'Fonzie' Fonzarelli and the means by which he produced working equipement is a perfect example of "Bench Knocking"
To hit something with ones hand or foot and then it operates when before it was unfunctioning is bench knocking.

Get the Bench Knockingmug. No, I didn’t sleep with your boyfriend, I just stopped by for a “knock n’ talk”.
“What are you doing tonight?” “Oh, I thought I’d do some ‘knock n’ talks’”
He’s not my boyfriend. That was just a “knock n’ talk”.
