Probably get banned for using that kind of language.
For saying, “Alexa, order floor mats from Home Depot?” Tough crowd.

Interesting point. I was actually barefoot at the time.
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.
I have no words sufficient. I just cry.

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.
That was your sign to chunk the jig.
