Need the proper Neanderthal words to say...

[Thomas Wilson]

... when you drop a brand new, back polished, freshly honed, mortise chisel on the concrete floor when taking chisel out of honing guide.

[Tim Bridge]

Probably get banned for using that kind of language.

[Thomas Wilson]

For saying, “Alexa, order floor mats from Home Depot?” Tough crowd.

[Gary Focht]

" I wish that had hit my foot instead."

[Thomas Wilson]

Interesting point. I was actually barefoot at the time.

[John Schtrumpf]

That would just add injury to insult

Have been known to make an old Marine blush...for lesser offenses...

I have saved a few chisels with my feet. Still undecided if all the blood was worth it. As for proper Neanderthal words, look up to the sky; roar while beating your chest.

[James Waldron]

I have no words sufficient. I just cry.

[Doug Dawson]

... when you drop a brand new, back polished, freshly honed, mortise chisel on the concrete floor when taking chisel out of honing guide.

I think the word you are searching for is "ooof".

[James Pallas]

Proper Neanderthal would would throw the guide away. Don't need it and it caused the grief

Thomas,

In my case I would probably say the same thing I usually say in cases such as when I hit a hardened pallet nail with my freshly sharpened chisel a few months ago and put an half moon divot in it. I said "dad blast it!" I say it pretty loudly, and with feeling. (My wife tells me it's what I always say in such cases.) Some times when something is much less traumatic, I might say "Rats."

I saved one with my foot once (in sandals). Do not recommend - that severed two tendons in my middle toe.

[Charles Guest]

That was your sign to chunk the jig.

[Bruce Haugen]

I think the word you are searching for is "ooof".

Close but no cigar. The word you’re both searching for is “uffda!”
