[SML] Non-Standard terms - update?

Tue Apr 18 14:22:00 UTC 2023

>From the Aloha state:

Hou hewa – similar to dosie-do; rotate an object the other way.

Kapakahi – fubar, messy, dirty, unusable; the carpenters weren’t paying attention and now these stair units are all kapakahi.

Puka – hole, usually a small hole.

Dakine or Da kine – can be used to replace just about any word at any time; just go into the shop and grab da kine so we can finish this.

Pau – End of the work day; when are we pau?

Pau Hana – To drink after the end of the work day; you want pau hana today?

when I worked as an auto mechanic / race car builder
the adjustable wrench  with the crescent-shaped head
 was called the "metric wrench"
( and not all tissues are  Kleenex ! )
