So, I should have done this long ago. I found an answer to my "crowbar" question, but whether it's the CORRECT answer is debateable. Anyway, it sounds good and might be true!
BUT WHERE DID THE TERM "CHILISIZE" ORIGINATE??? OK, "crowbar".....here goes: "There is a connection between crows and crowbars, and it isn't the feathers. It's the beak. A crow has a powerful pointed beak with which it can, crows being very smart birds, pry open darn near anything it wants. So when humans invented a long iron bar with a hooked end to pry things open, they named it after the clever crow. In fact, the original crowbar (known simply as a "crow" back in 1400) sported one end shaped into a beak, rather than the flattened surface seen on modern crowbars." Whew!

Nofun,
Hmmm.... He has never seen a bar that has a crow"s foot and the end of it and construction is his business. Guess you have different kinds of tools there. The ones he has seen has a nail claw on the end of them, just like a hammer. His wrecking bars have a nail claw on one end and a flat end on the other end for prying. Carrie

SLO,
Actually, the proper name for a "crowbar" is wrecking bar or pry bar. At least that is what hubby says and he is not sure why people call it a crowbar. He says it is like a "monkey wrench" and a pipe wrench. Carrie

Okay, I've been wondering about these for years.
I have TWO (2) questions, each ranking right up there with "What is the meaning of life?". (1) Why do they call it a "crowbar"? (2) You know those disgusting hamburgers covered with chili beans? Why do they call it a "chili size"? I wake up nights sweating and with a rapid pulse thinking about these two things. Or, it may just be a wet dream.....I dunno. :-)

Why do they call the divorce, child custody, and support section of Pas judicial system "domestic relations"? Anyone who's had any dealins with 'em knows there's nuthin domestic about it.
