Interestingly, Philips screws were DESIGNED to strip out because they wanted to avoid stalling the screw gun’s motor and damaging the tool. But in an era where every box of screws comes with a “free” screw gun bit - and any halfway decent screw gun has an adjustable torque slipping clutch - that’s a kinda silly idea. This guy on Quora

Sobremesa — The conversation that takes place at the dinner table after the meal is over.

Sobremesa While living in Argentina, my family loved to go out to  eat at the local restaurants.  The atmosphere was incredibly different from any restaurant I’ve been to in the United States. Once the meal is over in the United States, the waiter usually will bring you the check, you’ll pay immediately and you’ll leave. In many Spanish cultures, it’s very common to stay at the table for hours after the meal is over and just talk over a cup of coffee.

I’m always a day behind and a dollar short.

I’m always a day behind and a dollar short. Aturdir I have two daughters that are under the age of two. Naturally, my house is always a mess. I’m always a day behind and a dollar short. This is a feeling I’m incredibly familiar with, but there’s no real way to describe it in English. Another time I often felt this way was when I was in college and I had two papers, an exam, a project and twenty pages of reading due the next day. Maybe I wouldn’t feel this so often if I were more organized… We can also use this verb when we hear a piece of news that dumbfounds us or stuns us, leaving us speechless and/or bothered. Aturdir  —  When something overwhelms, bewilders, or stuns you to the point that you’re unable to focus and think straight. Sauce

Duende. It’s sometimes argued that this is the most difficult Spanish word to translate into English.

Duende It’s sometimes argued that this is  the most difficult Spanish word to translate into English . Why? In  Spanish literature , especially  poetry , this word is used very often to describe how a person feels about nature. However, especially in Spain, it can be used to describe an indescribable charm or magic that isn’t limited to nature. You might hear about the  duende  of flamenco singing, for example. Duende  —  The feeling of awe and inspiration had, especially when standing in nature. The overwhelming sense of beauty and magic.
