A derogatory trade term. Describing installer(s) of basic air conditioning split systems.
See also: “split bashing”
These types of systems are usually installed in a domestic dwelling and typically comprise one indoor and one outdoor unit, with interconnecting pipes and wiring. The term likely originated from the electrical equivalent known as “house bashing”
It insinuates that specific air conditioning engineers may lack understanding of the principles of refrigeration and other more complicated systems within the sector due to the simplicity and low risk involved with “split bashing” (installing small air conditioning systems).
An experienced “split basher” should be able to complete installation within one day and may see to conduct it with a laid back and optimistic “that’ll do” attitude, utilising only the minimum tools, equipment and effort necessary to get it to work. As a result, a true “bashed split” install may often look untidy or half finished and lack proper pipe and cable management systems.

Driving on the high part of a dirt road instead of on the worn out spots. Ruts are the holes already created. If you split the rut, you avoid driving in the holes by driving up on the high spots. This avoids undercarriage damage and getting stuck

A playfully-overprecise remark that you tell someone to let him know that you may be briefly delayed in meeting up with him, and so he should simply wait for you if you don't arrive at precisely the moment when you said you would.
Cool dude, texting to his buddy on his smart-phone as he's hurriedly scuttling along the downtown sidewalk: "I've had a last-minute errand that I gotta run real quick, so I may be two-tenths of a split-second late --- no worries, though, Bro --- I'll still shoot some hoops wif youse, just as I promised."

A sexual stunt involving a male and female - preferably siblings or first cousins - where the man shoves his thumbs into the meatus of his urethra and wrenches his hands sideways with enough force to rip the penis in half down to the base. The remaining urethra hole in the base is then filled with whipped cream, after which the destroyed penis is promptly given a blowjob by the female.
