Topic starter
 

Having a debate with a colleague and ended up talking about fixing things using no skill and just the use of brute force. How many times have you given the tv screen a slap to fix it etc etc

I believe there is a word I once knew that described this act. Anyone know it as my googling skills aren't working today.

Haven't you heard? I thought everyone had heard that the bird is the word.

Percussive maintenance, it's what we use in our house.

Percussive adjustment.

Breenge is a good Scots word for it (as in "Don't breenge at it, do it properly")
