Cockeyed, really, hey I was told when I was a kid that a rooster would be cockeyed. When they're at the top of their ''Rooster Game'' they'd look Cockeyed. Horses hold their ears back, meaning they're cocked, or ''Ready''.
Drinkers use ''Cocked'' as a measurement of, ''Drunkness'', which is not a real word but sounds cool when used with being ''Half Cocked'' but the term ''Half Cocked'' was originally taken from the military, in regards to a soldier, with his weapon ( There were no women soldiers who fought back when the term was adopted) What is taught: You never leave your weapon ''Half Cocked'' since doing so leaves your weapon unable to fire. And in the military, the instructors teach that if you are not ready to fire at the enemy first, then the enemy is probably ready to fire at you. So you should know that when a soldier is in battle, being ready first means everything because ''There's No 2nd Place Trophy In A Gun Fight''.

Half-cocked goes back to the days of the wild west, when a lot of wannabe gunfighters went around with their pistol half-cocked, thinking it would make them a little faster on the draw. These were usually young men, and they made unwise decisions, often with no thought to the outcome. Now the expression going off half-cocked means rushing off in haste to implement an unwise course of action. Cock-eyed refers to a cross-eyed person, and is considered a insult or a slur. Presumably, a person could drink himself cock-eyed, so drunk he couldn't focus. On a pistol, half-cock was a safety, and the pistol would not fire unless it was fully cocked.

Vanessa - Real men (like Eric) don't take advice on how to be a Man from a woman. just saying. At first that may sound coarse but stop and consider it in the opposite direction. Do you know many ladies who listen to Men on how to be a Lady/woman.
We know you have good intentions and we all love ya - so I I am not trying to be smart. Just sharing a thought to consider, Philisophically.

That is ole married folk banter. I would always recommend aluminum soft jaws on the vise. They do not mar, and they hold excellent. I have been a bench tech for 30 years. The best move I made was to nitrile gloves. No more dirty fingernails, and my wife tells me how she loves my soft hands even though I am a hard core wrench turner.

This post just shows how good a relationship is between you and your wife, you can see you both have great affection for each other by the banter and your interaction with our idiotic language, love your posts and say hi to your missus from a very wet Ireland, ps didnt know mrs o, has a phd in psychology and good parenting

Nice job cleaning, way too much brake clean for your lungs with no protection eyes or mask. BTW opening the bleeder when pushing back the piston gets rid of the worst of the fluid thru the open bleeder and reducing the over fill spillage over the master cylinder. All good.

Hey Eric. Mrs O makes me laugh.
Is she a mountain woman. ? Does she play a Banjo. ? Ha Ha. !
The simple story traces cockeyed to the Irish and Gaelic word caog, meaning wink, especially in the compound caogshuileach, meaning squint-eyed.

Wow. that vise looks great!
Question: when did the brake cleaner music start? haha
We repair espresso machinery here. NOT automotive, ) but a few of the problems you deal with apply to us, here in L. A.
Best, Dave B.

Back a few years my wife and I owned a body and frame automotive shop, you and Mrs O remind me of the enteraction we had in the shop. I thought l ran the business but in reality she did.
