My first thought, too, but probably both! 😲

Well, that is the reason, why it is one of my all time favorites!

Mad dogging

Excellent one!

...and @Mad Dog can claim full credit for that one (the 'activity', i.e. 😉)!

Has "Uncle" (intentional citation marks) been up here? If not - it is time for it.

I was wondering the same thing.

If nothing has been formalized yet, may I suggest "D.U.S." ? (Dead Uncle Special)

Well, it isn't an all time Hall of Fame sniglet-worthy one, but using "strap snap" would end all the deployant / deployment nonsense.

Here's a silly and fun one that one member started the ball rolling and it led to "You can't have SWISS MADE without the WIS"......

And here's a spectacular one that doubles as a commentary on the modern problem of people who's faces are glued to their smart phones, which again was started by a joke and morphed into something anyone could use any day: "E-hole".....

Used to be better several years ago. The original owner was a vintage watch collector who specialized in funky, space-age 1950's through 1970's stuff. Lots of Hamilton Electrics and other odd shaped watches.

Not sure if he is still running the place now.

Inflicta is that bilious feeling one suffers while reviewing watch forums featuring a superabundance of new Invicta owners posting that they chose the brand because they: "Wanted to upgrade to a nicer watch."

Negatory...I can't (won't) claim full credit due to the fact that I learned it from my Uncle Jim in the 1970s. 👍

Pic below from December of 2016 with my Uncle Jim (on left) at his residence in Stanley, WI...he doesn't wear multiple watches anymore...too much work...
