Nasty things Busbars... particularly 12th edition ones when encountered.. they ain't insulated. Once trouble shooting an automated warehouse nearly put my hand on one in a cab.. my shoulder was gripped firmly and dragged backward with the senior plant electrician whispering in my ear...
"please don't do that son, i'll have to fill in a lot of paperwork if you do"

Graunch.
Vernier sounds a bit pansy - Verynear is the man version.

Not man words - but, when performed well, the hand signals for :-
Back it up
Right hand down
Just a Touch
Hold her there
Cock on
kill it
Tea?

are basically bloke-ballet.

Drift.

Not the act of putting a car sideways, though that works too, I'm thinking of the type that's preceded by the word "suitable" in Haynes manuals; usually refers to a short length of 2x4 and some form of gentle persuasion tool (like Mjolnir).

Annular Ring Nail

I think you will find the full testosterone dripping man title for that wee fella is an Annular Ring Shank.

Damn... I feel manly after that!

Edit: In fact thinking about it that takes me straight to NAILS (as in hard as)
