About a month ago I had a weird damn dream. Bought a new impact gun and found out that it was gay. Put a socket on it and the socket developed lips with bright pink lipstick. Put the socket on a nut or bolt and... well imagine Glen from Letterkenny eating a popsicle and thats what it looked like.
The worst(best?) part was when you tried to get a bolt to unscrew. Put it on the bolt and hold the trigger and instead of going "whrrrrrrr" it would say "Ugga dugga" over and over and sounded like an old campy queen (not quite Harvey Fierstein, not quite Nathan Lane, but sorta in the middle) and the longer you held the trigger down and the looser the bolt became the faster it would say "Ugga dugga"
That's about all I got there.

That term annoys me as much as the unitless "tq" number. Like 340whp/340wtq.
For a while I would tell people that my nonturbo RX-7 made 600wtq when asked. Nobody said anything about pound-feet...
U-d (I can't even type it out) sounds like something that would be on the Teletubbies.

I tend to use tq because I can never remember if it's supposed to be lb-ft or ft-lb and Nm would just confuse everyone.
A friend recently had a tooth replaced and it was torqued to 35 Ncm. Which is not a unit I've met before, but I guess it's easier to communicate than 0.35 Nm.

I used to work in NVH. When measuring damping for an engine mount, we generally just called it "units of damping". How much damping? 7.2 units.
The actual unit measured I believe was Ns/mm. In order to interpret it you also needed to know the force applied, the frequency, and the displacement.
