Heard a client call a miter joint a 'mighty joint' and it stuck with me
I was at a supply house last week picking up some maple, and the guy next to me was on the phone describing his project. He told his client, 'Don't worry, I'll use a mighty joint on that corner, it'll hold forever.' I realized he meant a miter joint. It was such a funny, confident mix-up. Now I can't stop thinking about how we use our own shop slang that must sound like a foreign language to homeowners. Has anyone else picked up a funny term from a client that you ended up using yourself?
