Or when you need to take a very small amount of material off of a part. Then it needs a c*nt hair taken off. A little bit more is an RCH. Red ones are a bit coarser.

Hahaha Slikwilli420. The same sayings translated into Scottish are;

"Like sh!t off a shiny shovel"
A small margin is a "bawhair" or an "oomph"

Others include "As slow as a week in the jail" and "Haud yer wheesht" (shut up)

when I was a kid...my grandpa would always console us when we injured ourselves by saying "It will stop hurting when the pain goes away"

You could be sitting there missing a limb and he'd still console you with that.

To follow that one up, on a questionable set-up, that may work, or may not. Fu*k it, run it.

I don't see how a bee's dick could be more precise, but with C' hairs, you have black ones(big) red ones(medium sized) and blond (small).
