I need a new curse word, one that applies specifically to the frustration of having a pneumatic pin nailer jam when you are pinning in place the final piece of trim for a project.
This very thing happened to me yesterday while I was
nailing baseboards around the new flooring in the master bedroom’s walk-in
closet. I had only three more pins to
set when the nailer jammed.
I issued a pretty expansive string of standard
curse words when the gun jammed, but that didn’t make me feel any better. And even clearing the gun after a few minutes
of squinting and fiddling didn’t feel particularly satisfying. Only a new curse word would help. I want a word that incorporates a hissing
sound as well as the letter “z.”
Something zesty like "fizzit!"
