That was, briefly, a real WTF moment.

[edit] oh my god, of course that one didn’t come from searching guitar topics, that makes no sense given the standard tuning. I’m pretty sure I was googling strings in the C language when I hit that one, lol. I did probably accidentally land on “g string” after searching without thinking about what would obviously come up, when looking up guitar topics, and must have combined the two incidents in my memory.

I had no idea about the garment.

One method I considered involved using those little self-wedging widgets that squeeze down tighter as the thing being suspended is pulled harder. (These widgets were once commonly used with overhead POTS telephone lines.)

So I asked around and the broad consensus in my area was that one of these widgets is called a "horse cock."

And while everyone who knew what I was talking could say it with a very straight face, I did not even bother with trying to Google "horse cock" before deciding to go in a different direction with that project.

A horse cock can also be known as an overhead service entrance wedge clamp, which is a surprising mouthful of nomenclature given the parlancial context.

(I don't know what a Hubbell device is -- searching for that just brings up a million wiring devices (outlets, switches, and such) made by Hubbell.

But maybe that's the point?)

What was particularly funny was his look of complete incomprehension at why he was getting this message.
