The First Law of Engineering

The premise that 1) Anything can be fixed by hitting it with a hammer, and 2) If you cannot fix the problem, you do not have a big enough hammer.

"It's The First Law of Engineering, Leonidas,” Granadica sent. “If you can’t fix it, you’re not using a big enough hammer.”

First Cunt

For those people who drive as the main part of their working day 'First Cunt' is the first time that day that one utters the word 'Cunt' out loud in reference to another motorist who has done something inconsiderate, stupid or dangerous. This should happen spontaneously as a natural reaction to the situation presented. The earlier in the day this occurs may be a sign as to how bad that day on the road will be.
"CUNT!"
"...hummm, 08:45... that's an early 'First Cunt'... today is going to be a bad day.
