I may as well clear this out of the way, so here are the results:
1. A device which accurately positions nails in drywall for hanging large objects, invented by George Cleco and currenrtly featured on numerous TV cmmericals.
Proofreader invented this one, which left Wordmatic hanging.
2. If you've ever inserted a cuff link or an ear ring, you've used a Cleco fastener to hold them in.
Also Proofreader's
3. After Jean-Jacques Cleco, its inventor, the quick release hook used in ballets for ballerinas who are lifted above the stage as if flying.
My own.
4. A type of cotter pin with a cap on one end which may be locked or removed as needed.
Wordmatic's. She fooled Proofreader and Kalleh.
5. The technical name for non-reusable electricians' cable-tie.
Bob's invention.
6. A clamp used on the aorta during open heart surgery.
Kalleh's rendering.
7. A made up term similar to "widget," used mostly by ironworkers.
Mine again
8. A quick-release temporary rivet used in sheet metal construction.
The real thing. As with many other products such as Kleenex, Coke, and Xerox, it's a brand name that generalized. It's eerily close to Wordmatic's daffynition, but just enough different to not be it.This message has been edited. Last edited by: Geoff,
