verb. The action of scraping one's fingers, hands or knuckles on a sharp edge or corner inside a computer case while removing a device such as a PCI card or drive power cable. This is usually caused by parts being difficult to remove requiring such an application of force that once the object gives the hand pulling upon it is whipped across the interior of the computer case typically resulting in multiple lascerations. A bleeding knogle occurs if the injury (injuries) result in a substantial amount of blood loss.
I knogled myself removing a Kitchen Sync dual time-base corrector from my Amiga 2000 the other day requiring the use of a bandaid. (true story!)

R: "Knowledge is power is time is money, Mr Linton."

the Knowledge 

The Knowledge is the in-depth study of London street routes and places of interest that taxicab-drivers must complete to obtain a licence to operate a black cab. It was instigated in 1851, and has changed little since.

It is the world's most demanding training course for taxicab-drivers; and applicants will usually need at least 12 'Appearances' (attempts at the final test), after preparation averaging 34 months, to pass the examination.

Your mate doesn't stand a chance to pass the Knowledge no matter how hard he tries!
