I don't like the word "choil"

[blueboost]

It sounds silly. It looks silly typed out. Choil. Pass me the choil! How did such an uncool word get used on something as cool as a knife? Choil out.

Discuss...?

 

[Danke42]

I feel "Jimping" is much much sillier.

 

[22-rimfire]

How about ricasso? Many people confuse it with choil in terms of features.

I didn't have a problem with it...

Until now.

Thanx a lot.

Yeah...

Especially when they spell it "gimping".

Let's re-name it! I propose..."Kaksnurt".

 

[Hickory n steel]

It certainly doesn't roll off the tongue and feels weird to say, I don't even know where the word comes from.

It's a strange word but it doesn't really bother me.

 

[Sharp & Fiery]

Come on guys...choil...what about jimping, ricasso, bolster, tang. Lol.

Yeah, tang is a drink!

Hmmm. I like the word "choil" even though it sounds more like a verb or an adjective than a noun. You know, to choil away under the blazing sun. Or, the soup was choiling. At any rate, I prefer the word to the actual device.

Yeah, tang is a drink!

You know what the best part about being an astronaut is ?

 

[Glenn Goodlett]

They get all the Tang.

I was named after an astronaut but I don’t get much tang anymore.

 

[Dr Heelhook]

Yeah, jimping is much worse IMO. Also, what's the deal with the words picatinny and pickaninny?

It's a Jersey thing.

 

[marcinek]

Maybe you should try looking that second word up.

It's a word. Words are single distinct meaningful elements of speech or writing. Does mineral oil bother you? A fencing foil?

Do you not buy knives with choils? Why or why not? Do you find they do not function?

I mean, I like turtles. So what?

 

[kvaughn]

Smatchet! Now there's a word for ya.
With a choil is even better.--KV

 

[Fonedork]

I thought it was spelled "Chohel"

 

[McFeeli]

Ricasso is an awesome word. It fits swords and knives perfectly.

Choil is different. I’m never 100% sure I’m pronouncing it correctly.
