I used to jokingly describe circuit boards i was working with in microacres. It’s the right order of magnitude for them, being a little over 6 square inches.
It would also work for display sizes.
.Cu-t hair to the left
Smidge
Used to have an instrument man that would jerk his left (or right) fist and say, “…not even that..”. This merely meant the smallest of movement possible. This was usually within 30′ of the gun…which meant he was looking at a plumb bob that appeared to be the size of a power pole.
And everyone’s favorite, “left (or right) an RCH!”
Scoshe
balls
@holy-cow so simple, yet so effective.
Even smaller is half a smidge
I had an instrument man that would say; go left a tenth. GD it! I said a tenth! What the hell were you thinking! Now go back to your right, a hundredth…
I hope everyone has a great day; I know I will!0.005 Right
Touch right
Skooch right, your other right, K, now half a skooch. Line!
WillyWhen the tiniest move was needed Monty would tell you to move “left a beezle”.
Monty said you could fly 10 beezles, wing to wing, through a gnat’s ass.
JA, PLS, SoCal
